A good amount of people watch cable news, and to their credit, both CNN and MSNBC have been covering this since it happened, although perhaps neither with the detail nor at the exclusion of any other news that Harvey got while the Houston flooding was at its worst. Then again, the Harvey coverage faded rapidly in the days after the storm left Texas; the Puerto Rico recovery is still unfolding and gets a fair bit of television and press. Perhaps there is a perception that this is underreported but I don't think so. The kind, nature, amount, and pervasiveness of the news coverage is simply a reflection that life for everybody else still goes on (or rather, has to go on), and even for the people of Puerto Rico that's bizarrely true in the worst possible ways [1].
