The rich feel they're "under assault" by the media because Paris Hilton et. al get. a lot of exposure? Time to get out the world's tiniest violin and start playing it.

This does, however, remind of a quote from Angela Carter's fascinating book, _The Sadeian Woman_: "[The rich] are in exile from the world in their abominable privilege, at the same time as they control the world." But, of course, no one forces you to be rich and thereby endure all the, uh, "misery" ro exile that comes with it.
