Hoist by his own petard, no less.
Though I still think the real blame lies with the oiks that buy his newspapers and glossy magazines, hoping to gloat over the sordid details of people they've never met as a substitute for real friends, and who wouldn't know proper investigative journalism if it bit them on the arse.

If everything was priced at its "inherent value" this country would have gone bankrupt years ago
along with many others, as so many revenue streams depend on inflating the value of things to the "market value" and siphoning off the difference.
(, Mon 15 Jul 2013, 12:21, Reply)
Most things do get priced at a decent value when there's decent competition and less barriers to entry.
I'd argue that pretty much everything in a supermarket is priced just about right for costs/margins, clothes are not badly overpriced either.
