This sounds like another round of “what we say is misinformation _is_ misinformation and you’ll all believe what we tell you”

[leeprochazka]

How does misinformation stop the government from helping people?!?!?!

[jamiegoodman]

What can we expect from a Chicago propaganda source!

[TheWanderer]

What they call misinformation is whats coming from actual people on the ground. Including sheriffs, firemen and more

[lisamillen]

Misinformation is just info you don't agree with. Doesn't mean it's not a fact. Stop the censorship.

[Legojake]

people who are taking matters into their own hands and volunteering to rescue and bring supplies to people are being actively denied by fed agents at gunpoint. sounds like what happened in hawaii

[freezingcathedral]

RELIEF MONEY IS BEING DIVERTED ELSEWHERE AND SO ARE RESOURCES!
THIS IS A FACT!!!

“Send every newscaster you have to the GROUND on-site, fill the hurricane area with reporters, newscaster, news stations, taking video, recording rescue efforts, interviewing FEMA. People believe those who are THERE, they don’t believe those who are NOT there!“

[stevelotshaw]

Why do you keep liing to us? Ask the people in need if they are getting help.They will tell you they are not getting help from fema .

There are upwards of 700, 000 people in mountain communities. What about the thousands of people who are completely wiped injuries, with no house, home, car, supplies, Identification, food, water, medication, clothes, can these people apply for They need to be served, made contact with and brought and given what they need and/or temporialy taken out to safety. What about all the people who lived there off grid, and or who were even homeless, Why have all these people been left to wash away or die. Why can't FEMA cooridinate with air traffic control and let anyone who has the abiltity to go in independently of FEMA with a helicoper and rescue people who SOS give inventory of what they need.

[Epluribusunom]

This should be flagged as misinformation

[SallieHimes-gsvj]

Mayorkas, himself, said there is not enough money to handle the rest of the hurricane season. So why is it now billions available ?

[debraromine]

FEMA needs to just do their job and stop crying

[angelanabozny]

How are they going to apply for anything dip s*** if they have no way of doing that!!!

[KA-dmdr]

What is slowing down critical work is FEMA not being there for the first 7 days.

[CharlesTrotter-kf]

Misinformation has nothing to do with helping our own people, if the area was receiving help this would not be an issue, Trump & Vance 2024 ♥♥make America great again,

[einsteinalb]

Sooo.. the ppl who live there were lying about the situation? That's cold.

[clwnbird]

misinformation is a liberal term meaning truth.

[alittlewheiser]

People are not angry at the FEMA WORKERS, They’re angry with those who run FEMA

[paulskopic]

Are we to believe the Official our lying eyes?
