Fraud carrying maybe press card (8)
I believe the answer is:
comedian
'card' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'fraud carrying maybe press' is the wordplay.
'fraud' becomes 'con' (con is a kind of fraud).
'carrying' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'maybe press' becomes 'media' (the press are part of the media).
'con' going around 'media' is 'COMEDIAN'.
(Other definitions for comedian that I've seen before include "Professional teller of jokes" , "Demoniac (anag.)" , "I'm not taken seriously" , "scream?" , "Funny entertainer" .)
