Sadly for the most part the plight of Puerto Rico hasn’t made much of an impact on French media. I don’t think it’s deliberate; it’s the “drop the dead donkey” effect.

Half of Americans don’t realize Puerto Rico is American territory full of American citizens; it wouldn’t surprise me at all if French people were even less aware. (plus, of course, you people have a longstanding cultural/linguistic connection to New Orleans that probably makes it more worth your notice than Portland would be.)
