Foreign article contains ‘fake news’? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alien

'foreign' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'article contains 'fake news'?' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'contains' indicates putting letters inside.
''fake news'?' becomes 'lie'.
'an' going around 'lie' is 'ALIEN'.

(Other definitions for alien that I've seen before include "Foreigner, outsider" , "Martian, say" , "repugnant" , "Not native" , "Foreign - film directed by Ridley Scott" .)
