Government backed shutting up Liberal video journal (4)
I believe the answer is:
vlog
'video journal' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'government backed shutting up liberal' is the wordplay.
'government' becomes 'gov'.
'backed' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'shutting up' indicates putting letters inside.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'gov' written backwards gives 'vog'.
'vog' going around 'l' is 'VLOG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
