I think business practices which are illegal in many countries because of consumer protection concerns can justifiably be called &quot;dishonest&quot; without any additional qualifier.<p>The Boston Globe is being intentionally deceptive about the amount they&#x27;re charging their customers. They&#x27;re trying to trick people into paying more money than they thought they were consenting to.<p>You could argue that they&#x27;ll only &quot;trick&quot; those who don&#x27;t dig deep enough to figure out the real price, but that&#x27;s like saying confidence tricks are moral because they only work on naive people.
