I'll try typing louder this time: It's news because another member of the cabinet has been criticized for chartering planes at taxpayers' expense. So DeVos, wanting to make sure people know that she's using a private plane at her own expense, ISSUED A STATEMENT TO THAT EFFECT. It's news because DeVos (rightfully) didn't want to be lumped in with Tom Price, and the Associated Press accommodated her. The fact that you continue to bitch about the article tells me you have the attention span of a house fly.

As for people failing to address "the bones of your comment" - that's what tends to happen when you comment on an article that you clearly have not even read.
