According to the watchdog group Media Matters, CNN devoted nearly five hours to discussing Roseanne, and just over 12 minutes to discussing Puerto Rico. The other cable news networks, Fox News and MSNBC, were similarly lopsided, with Fox spending just 48 seconds on the Puerto Rico study.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Can someone remind Wyclef and others that <a href=\"https:\/\/fromtheprow.agu.org\/eight-years-haiti-earthquake-progress-challenges\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Haiti is also in need of help<\/a> and Puerto Rico has already been forgotten. This is not the fact that celebrity gossip is more important than events like Maria. It\u2019s that Humans only allow ourselves a short time to give a shit about something before another thing takes its place. The lasting effects of a natural disaster on the scale of Maria will impact our statehood-hopeful territory for the next few decades. If it\u2019s not being covered by the media, most of the necessary resources and federal attention will quietly go away. We\u2019re really good at forgetting things that we\u2019re responsible for. We didn\u2019t owe Haiti reconstruction efforts but I hope Puerto Rico doesn\u2019t fall to the same situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Media Matters via FiveThirtyEight: On Tuesday, two things happened: A New England Journal of Medicine article by Harvard&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-06-01T12:26:26Z","apple_news_api_id":"e0d37108-d513-4a3c-841b-a4d66fc58e5b","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-06-01T12:26:27Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A4NNxCNUTSjyEG6TWb8WOWw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-7470","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-linked","7":"cs-entry","8":"cs-video-wrap"},"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1Wu","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":7167,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2017\/10\/13\/linked-the-media-really-started-paying-attention-to-puerto-rico-when-trump-did\/","url_meta":{"origin":7470,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;The Media Really Started Paying Attention To Puerto Rico When Trump Did&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"October 13, 2017","format":false,"excerpt":"via Five Thirty Eight: Two weeks ago, a FiveThirtyEight analysis found that Puerto Rico had received far less media coverage immediately after Hurricane Maria than other U.S. locations recently hit by powerful hurricanes had gotten.
