    12 minutes, 3 seconds

    On Tuesday, two things happened: A New England Journal of Medicine
    article by Harvard researchers argued that the death toll from
    Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico was most likely thousands higher than
    the official number of 64; and Roseanne Barr, the sitcom star, was
    fired for a racist Twitter rant. According to the watchdog group
    Media Matters, CNN devoted nearly five hours to discussing Roseanne,
    and just over 12 minutes to discussing Puerto Rico. The other cable
    news networks, Fox News and MSNBC, were similarly lopsided, with Fox
    spending just 48 seconds on the Puerto Rico study. [1][Media
    Matters]

  This is messed up.
