Sick. Shameful. They will remember that garbage when they are hungry.

Who benefits from throwing away invaluable food supplies like this in a time of crisis? Could it have been a mistake? Or willful negligence?
If this was done knowingly, it's nothing short of criminal.

Never heard of a paywall?
Yes, some news outlets will have them where they allow only part of the article to show or you only have access to a certain number of articles per month or just have to pay for access period. Usually, this is more for periodical style news outlets than plain newspaper style ones.

There's absolutely no way anyone would get away with this. This is propaganda designed to cover for Trumps bungling of disaster response to Puerto Rico. Does anyone think a hungry and thirsty mob could be kept from dumpsters full of food and water?
To what end are the Governor and Mayor Yulin going to just let people die? More bodies to deal with? I shouldn't be shocked at how low some people will go or what they will buy into but here I sit.

Much less, get them to pose the same question of; “Who might benefit from running a story like this?” now that they know it's fake.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

For starters, that’s NOT a dumpster he’s climbing in and I seriously doubt that the relief supplies he’s going through have been discarded. Hell, most of it is still palletized and shrink-wrapped.
Furthermore, I seriously doubt that the radio caller is a cop as he claims to be during the interview.
I think it’s pretty obvious that someone, namely Got News, is propagating a bit of fake news here.
I’m not disputing that they’re having some distribution problems there in Puerto Rico, but I think this story is pure bulls*#t.
Furthermore, based on the fact that they would run a fake story like this, I’m pretty sure that Got News is a pure bulls*#t news site as well.

So, let me get this straight... its only fake news, if Trumps chosen people, think it is?
Is that what it has come down to, finally?
