Strugglling with last three:

23a "Mass disseminator of News Corporation, if our speaker joined (6); - - R - A -

20d "Dead queen 9, for example" (6); N - - - E -

16d "Terrible fist's second stroke" (6); - C - A - E
if these letter are correct I can only see SCRAPE but don't see how it parses

Any help much appreciated

Morgan (stanley)
numb er
s crawl (crawl - swimming stroke)

the across one is la nina not el nino

Thanks very much sudokulover - my knowledge of climate changers and mass media is exposed (I'd considered Morgan Stanley but thought they were all about investment banking)

see the other thread - the clue "breaks" after "news"
