Loaded statement? (8)

I believe the answer is:

bulletin

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'statement?' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Official statement ' mean 'bulletin' so perhaps 'statement' could also mean 'bulletin')

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulletin that I've seen before include "Short and regular up-date" , "Blue lint (anag.)" , "Short statement on the news as it comes in" , "News report" , "Newsletter, report" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
