Meant to upset the media (5)
I believe the answer is:
aimed
'meant' is the definition.
(aiming is a kind of meaning)
'upset the media' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates an anagram.
'media' is an anagram of 'AIMED'.
'to' is the link.
(Other definitions for aimed that I've seen before include "Media (anag)" , "Planned, intended to try" , "Tried; pointed" , "Pointed towards" , "Drew a bead on" .)
