Roseanne Got 20x More Coverage Than Bombshell Report On Hurricane Deaths
1 June 2018
On Tuesday, Harvard researchers published a study estimating that approximately 5,000 deaths can be linked to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. The same day, ABC canceled Roseanne Barr’s eponymous show Roseanne after Barr sent a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, an adviser to former President Barack Obama.

The attack on Bee comes in the immediate wake of the cancellation of Roseanne Barr’s “Roseanne” television series after the actress-comedian posted a racist tweet. Trump and company claimed a “liberal double standard” was allowing Bee to keep her show: here.
That’s the nature of the beast. Sad but true.

Very probably, Trump won’t have his ‘Puerto Trump’.
However, there are dangerous privatisations at the moment in Puerto Rico:

Oh, yes! I’m well aware of what is going on. Unfortunately, Puerto Rico has a long history of governmental corruption.
