I keep hearing the president didn't do as much for PR as TX and FL. Is that true?

I know I saw a FEMA interview when the hurricane just happened and FEMA was gearing up to help PR. The FEMA representative talked about TX and FL as still ongoing, but it’s a different group that first goes in to assess and search and rescue, so the other hurricanes wouldn’t hamper what needs to be done in PR.

My biggest complaint has been the TV media not keeping attention on PR, not the government. As far as I knew, the government was going in.

What’s the truth?

Plus, I disagree that more “attention” was given to FL and TX, because even there, how many days did we see of reporting on what’s going on in those states? Not many. There is still clean up going on, is it being reported? The news loves to show big red spiraling blobs on the radar screen approaching, and the initial scenes from the disaster areas, and then their gone.
