Can the liberal networks EVER get it right?

ABC, NBC and CBS have spent more than 3 times as much time ranting over Donald Trump's tweets on football, than covering what Trump has been spending most of his time on: The crisis in Puerto Rico caused by two consecutive hurricanes.

Sure enough, liberal drones are already saying, "See? How dare Trump spend so much more time on football players kneeling for the National Anthem, than worrying about the disaster in Puerto Rico?"

Mission accomplished for the Fake News Networks, as usual.

Big Three Elevate Trump/NFL Spat over Dire Puerto Rico crisis

By Nicholas Fondacaro | September 25, 2017 9:59 PM EDT

Hurricane Maria hit the U.S. island territory of Puerto Rico last Wednesday and since then, there has been an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis. Most of the island was still without power, supplies slow to arrive, and the threat of a failing dam as of Monday. Despite the terrible news coming from the island, the Big Three Networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have dedicated far more time since Sunday to President Trump’s spat with protesting athletes than to the Puerto Rican people fighting to stay alive.

Between September 24 and September 25, the Big Three Networks spent a total of 92 minutes and 33 seconds of airtime hyperventilating about Trump's feud with various sports athletes. Compared to the 25 minutes and 45 seconds of total airtime between the three for Puerto Rico, over those two days. That means the networks spent 3.6 times more airtime on Trump’s Twitter war than the humanitarian crisis.

Exactly what work has Trump done when it comes to Puerto Rico?

He needs to start thinking about the mass migration from Puerto Rico to the mainland.

This. The people on the ground in Puerto Rico also don't see him doing much there, it isn't just the "liberal media".

He just now got around to sending the USNS Comfort. Which should have been about the first thing he did. In fact, as soon as the path of the storm was known, Comfort should have been on standby. Since it takes a good week for it to get to PR from Norfolk.

"President Donald Trump, who was quick to visit both Florida and Texas, even as officials were still dealing with the crisis, has not yet visited Puerto Rico or mentioned the island’s disaster since last week. On Monday, reporters asked why the president sent a dozen tweets criticizing NFL players instead of focusing on the crisis."

Questions mount on size of Puerto Rico relief mission, hospital ship

Did you know that it's an island in the middle of a huge ocean and that you can't drive a truck to get there?

Trump spent his whole weekend tweeting about the NFL. And when he finally mentioned pr he talked about their debts to wall street. Seriously, people are dying and that's what you talk about?

But yes I wonder how many will come to the states. I have coworkers whose families are making their way here- who knows if it becomes permanent.

I don't usually watch the news, but last night I watched NBC news and Lester Holt broadcast from there and well over half the coverage was about it.

For a lot of them, it will probably be permanent. Since PR is pretty much flattened.

This same question has been answered numerous times on other threads.

It's odd, though, how concerned libs are over Peurto Ricans...when it was libs who were wishing death and destruction on the people of Florida and Texas, as payback for having voted for Trump.

They were? Do you have actual quotes and articles on this? The only liberals I know wanted to help Florida and Texas and were praying for them.
