Press put out fake news? (3)
I believe the answer is:
lie
'fake news?' is the definition.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lie that I've seen before include "Assume a horizontal position" , "Porky" , "Prevarication" , "Recline - untruth" , "Tell tales" .)
