Rats! You beat me to it Countess. I finally worked it out at around midnight. -  shoulda got up and posted then. It was the 'bole' bit that had me stumped.

hyper bully (broadcast = sounds like) = hyperbole, an embellished example

No, twyngwyn, that is not the answer. (I like it, but it's not the answer.)

baldachin?

Yes, you have it.

Sung mostly without legal authority, but this goes above a cravat to set up a canopy

Sung = ballad

mostly without legal authority = remove most of law = la, hence ballad - la = bald

this goes above a cravat = a chin

to set up = makes the whole clue

canopy = baldachin

        and alternatively 

"Describe the cloth-bearer: beardless wonder."

beardless = a bald chin

wonder = jumble this up

also a nod to the phrase “chinless wonder” to give an extra clue in the direction of chin

Describe = here’s the whole word clue

cloth-bearer = canopy

also a nod to another meaning for baldachin (i.e., embroidered cloth)
