    Following the Maui fire disaster, there have been concerns of mishandling and a lack of transparency, with claims of media restrictions on the island. The current media landscape seems determined to maintain a positive image of Joe Biden, especially evident in the coverage of the Hawaii incident. Two significant aspects underscore this narrative.

At a congressional hearing Wednesday, Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Maura Harty was unable to explain why no State Department official did. Fleeing from an abusive husband and afraid for her life, 24-year-old Saga fled last month, with five-year-old Ibrahim and three-year-old Hanin, to the U.S. consulate.
