New York, June 4 (RHC)-- In the United States, the cable news networks are facing criticism for spending far more time covering the Roseanne story than the stunning new Harvard report that found at least 4,645 people died in Puerto Rico due to Hurricane Maria. That figure is 70 times higher than the official death toll.
According to Media Matters, last week the main cable news networks covered Roseanne for over 10 hours. They covered Hurricane Maria’s death toll in Puerto Rico for just over 30 minutes.
According to reports by the media watchdog group, Fox News spent just 48 seconds covering the Puerto Rico story.
