Pill made idol fodder for scandal sheet (7)
I believe the answer is:
tabloid
'sheet' is the definition.
(I know that sheet can be written as tabloid)
'pill made idol fodder for scandal' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'idol' is 'loid' which is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'tab' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tabloid that I've seen before include "Cheap newspaper" , "Small size newspaper" , "Newspaper with smaller pages and popular content" , "daily, perhaps" , "Populist newspaper" .)
