One America News Network’s White House reporter Chanel Rion was called on by President Trump toward the end of Thursday’s White House coronavirus task force press briefing. Rion upset her fellow reporters in the Brady Briefing Room by asking Trump about the pro-China bias in questions of him by other reporters about his use of the term “Chinese virus”. Rion also asked about the media allying their messaging with drug cartels and terrorists in opposition to Trump while having access to the White House. Eyes rolled among reporters when Rion prefaced her question by asking Trump if he thought the term “Chinese food” was racist.

Video clip of Rion’s question:

The faces made in the room as @ChanelRion asks Trump: Is it alarming that major media players…are consistently siding with a foreign state propaganda, Islamic radicals, and Latin gangs and cartels and they work right here…with direct access to you and your team? pic.twitter.com/4eW8RHipY5 — Julio Rosas (@Julio_Rosas11) March 19, 2020

Entire exchange at YouTube with the video set to start at Rion’s question:

Afterward, an unsigned printed note was left on her desk, which she shares with the New York Post, in the White House basement, that read, “Do you think your question was helpful in halting the spread of the coronavirus?”

CNN’s Oliver Darcy got a photo of the note:

Rion posted a photo, commenting, “Ah, workplace drama… ever so incomplete without that dash of anonymous passive aggression. Welcome to the basement.”

Examples of communist China’ government run media propaganda campaign allied with US and Western media and commentators against President Trump:

Medical, media professionals say "NO" to racism & stigma in fighting #coronavirus:

-CDC chief: "Chinese virus" inaccurate, racist

-BBC reporter: Blame Canadian iceberg for Titanic's fall

-The Economist editor: Xenphobia &scapegoating

-AFP reporter: Need solidarity more than ever pic.twitter.com/u70L7M3mYX — China Xinhua News (@XHNews) March 18, 2020

Why is "Chinese virus" so wrong? People on social media lash out against the xenophobic & racist name attached to #coronavirus:

-Virus has no nationality; No nation can own it

-Tactic to cast blame, distract from own incompetence

-Incitement of hatred pic.twitter.com/RUXAQoR6BE — China Xinhua News (@XHNews) March 18, 2020

And a perfect example of Rion’s question provided by MSNBC’s Richard Engel, “”This is a virus that came from the territory of China but came from bats. This is a bat virus, not a China virus. It doesn’t speak Chinese. It doesn’t target Chinese people. It targets human beings who happen to touch their eyes, nose or mouth.”

BTW, Chanel Rion is Asian-American:

Our freedoms and our very existence are made possible by the grace of God and by those who serve in uniform. I would not be here today were it not for the #KoreanWar of yesterday.

And as noted by critics, Rion is well acquainted with Trump world:
