A cable news correspondent who has been barred from White House briefings by a journalists’ organization said Thursday she had been explicitly invited by President Trump’s press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, and plans to continue covering the daily sessions.
Chanel Rion, who works for the Trump-friendly One America News Network, made the remarks on the air Thursday amid a standoff with the White House Correspondents Association over her repeated appearances in the small briefing room on days when it was not her organization’s turn to attend. Hours later, she showed up to the briefing for the third consecutive day.
Rion said Grisham had signed off on her presence, despite a strict seat rotation established during the coronavirus crisis to thin the usual crowd and keep reporters and officials — including Trump and Vice President Mike Pence — at a safe distance from one another.
Her comments suggest that top White House officials, including Trump himself, may have granted special approval to OANN. It’s unlikely that Grisham would have approved such an extraordinary breach of the access rules without Trump’s knowledge or assent.

If the partisan Acosta can be done there so can this lady
You mean they actually included a grown up for a change?
HAHAHAHAHA You know the rest of the attendees - Pravda West - are pissed. BTW, if they dont think it’s important, why even go?
To be honest, I think she could be far more effective by asking questions with regard to the President’s focus in involving private industry over government mandate, and lead the president into answering questions about lowering federal tax rates across the board to allow businesses to regenerate new business going forward. Maybe even hint at the “f” word... the flat tax!
And she is really easy on this old Jarhead’s eyes.
Been watching her for a while. Sharp as a tack and doesn’t suffer fools.
The Left black-lists conservatives in Hollywood.
They shadow-ban and de-platform conservatives on social media sites.
They refuse to let conservatives moderate presidential debates.
They refuse to let conservatives speak on college campuses.
Good for Chanel Rion and OANN for standing up to a group of bullies.
That’s a very serious young woman.
Exactly.
Not guilty.
Yep. Just as I figured.
Suck it MSM. There’s not a damn thing you can do about it. LOLOLOLOL!!!!!
She is extremely NOT GUILTY.
The MSM is power hungry and think they are special people who only should have access to the going on’s of our government. The people of our great nation be damned. They have absolutely no idea..zilch! Of what the average Americans talk and think about. They only have the ideas and thinkings of their cultish soup of leftest.
Now they need to invite someone from Breitbart.
She is a real reporter and not a propagandist/journalist.
The weasel Zeke Miller is deeply saddened.
Trump to WHCA: GFY!
Winning!
Amen to that!
Well, then, there’s ONE adult correspondent in the room.
It’s karma time for our news media. Hope it’s a biotch.
