Tom Bossert: Media hurting Puerto Rico's morale by reporting slow Trump response

[Miles Archer]

The Trump administration’s top Homeland Security adviser Tom Bossert said on Thursday that the media is “giving the appearance” that the administration isn’t moving fast enough to help the more than 3 million U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico, said the Hill.

“I understand the coverage, in some cases, is giving the appearance that we are not moving fast enough,” Bossert told reporters during a White House press conference.

Bossert pointed to media reports from the last week and said many of the photos being used as evidence of the island’s destruction are days old, but the press is using them anyway because they make the president look bad.

He urged reporters to stop reporting information that will “unnecessarily defeat the morale of the people of Puerto Rico.”

1. Because, You Know

Without the media, they wouldn't know they don't have food, water or anything else.

3. No, asshole. Puerto Ricans "low morale" is coming from dying of thirst, the heat &

no food or medical care. The ONLY reason he's doing anything now is because of media shaming.

These assholes are nothing but pure, unadulterated evil.

4. Even Fox News (Geraldo) is slamming the Snowflake

5. Maybe he should hire a PR firm to put out happy tales and leave the news reporting

to the journalists. The whole Trump administration is chock full of lying weasels, and I don't trust a word they say!

6. yeah they watch cable news too ya know. oh wait, what? I loved his insincere call for prayers at

the end of his bit at today's presser. The message I got from his is "we're doing the least we can do, the very least."
