I feel a lot of these stories are about people trying to survive in dysfunctional environments. The other type of story they like to publish is about the glamouros lives of rich people.
What seems to be taboo is to connect these two together. You have one group of people who don't get even the most basic healthcare or go into debt over school lunches and then you have others who have more luxury you can imagine. But somehow it’s not ok to point out that maybe one has to do with the other.
It seems to me a lot of these stories are about telling poor people “stop complaining and be as resourceful as the people we are writing about. And certainly don’t ask your boss for more money or your politicians for doing a better job”
