Journalist spouting bile is not poisonous (6)
I believe the answer is:
edible
'not poisonous' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'journalist spouting bile' is the wordplay.
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'spouting' indicates an anagram.
'bile' with letters rearranged gives 'ible'.
'ed'+'ible'='EDIBLE'
'is' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for edible that I've seen before include "Like some mushrooms" , "I can swallow that!" , "Fit to be eaten" , "Able to be eaten" , "Fit to be consumed" .)
