Deliberately misleading report (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canard

(Other definitions for canard that I've seen before include "False rumour also from France" , "rumour that's false" , "'False report, hoax (6)'" , "A false rumour, originally French" , "Deliberately misleading rumour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
