i know the statement is cliche, but this is a nothing-burger and in the absence of any real news, and the fact there are so many news outlets now, the media will cling-and-spin almost anything that is even remotely interesting. It's just a shame that if they told the truth, the story wouldn't be interesting... the reaction would "well of course someone who claims to not be able to afford lunch but can afford to go on field trips needs to be looked closer at."
