In reply to the discussion: head of FEMA just issued a tweet that says the media hasn't been paying attention to PR hurricane [View all]csziggy
(34,189 posts)9. MSNBC has had a reporter there with updates every single day
And sometimes more than once a day. They have also had the mayor of San Juan on a number of times, with her pleas for assistance, listing specifics.
Last night Rachel Maddow had an on the air interview with the mayor of San Juan who again asked for specific relief. That segment was replayed and analyzed last night and more times today with yet another interview with her. I saw the coverage today even though I was not at the TV as much as usual.

Maybe it seems as though the footage is on a loop since the needs of the people of Puerto Rico have not even begun to be addressed so the mayor of San Juan has to repeatedly ask for the same help. But the coverage I have seen on MSNBC is definitely NOT "The same footage is on a loop."
