On Wednesday, things took an intense turn when the White House apparently banned a CNN reporter from a press event. On Thursday, in a segment on Wolf Blitzer's show about the White House's decision to block reporter Kaitlan Collins from the event, April Ryan suggested Melania Trump may have played a part in that decision. Collins, who reports on the White House for the network, was accused of "shouting" questions that were "inappropriate" on Wednesday.
In remarks to Blitzer on Wednesday, Collins defended herself saying, "I was blocked from attending an open press event here at the White House because the White House did not like the questions I posed to President Trump earlier in the day."
On Thursday, Ryan offered a theory that could explain why matters escalated between the press and the White House the day before. The veteran White House reporter said, "[Trump] also said that Mrs. Trump is watching CNN, so that all plays into this. I'm just saying. It's the truth."
Ryan's theory refers to New York Times' recently reporting that Melania was watching CNN on Air Force One, as opposed to Fox News, and that this left in a "rage." The communications team for Melania, however, has rejected the report as false. Later, the first lady's communications director Stephanie Grisham responded to CNN, "Seems kind of silly to worry about what channel she watches on TV (any channel she wants btw) or if she heard some recording on the news."
Grisham also said, "Did you know that every 15 minutes a baby is born with [neonatal abstinence syndrome]? Maybe you'd like to talk about the 160,000 kids who skip school every day for fear of being bullied, or that 280,000 students are physically attacked in schools every month."(continued)

3 words into the headline and there is already a lie.
I was at a business a week ago that offered a Ladies Night. I asked if transgendering would get me the same discount?
“White House did not like the questions I posed to President Trump earlier in the day.”
It wouldn’t have anything to do with
truthful, respectful, factual reporting
with a foreign dignitary present,
would it? Evidently there’s no love
lost. Respect the office, and just
maybe you’ll get what you came for.
CNN are the Kneelers of the MSM.
April Ryan...is OVER FED, and her brain is fried..
Must be something with that RYAN name...avoid that name at all costs..
Unlike Hillary Clinton, Melania Trump is too busy being our First Lady to even think about being co-President.
props to Stephanie Grisham, who took CNN to school. Well done, Steph!
MAGA!
Not a well copy-edited story if they leave words out. It should have read, " and that this left Melania Trump in a "rage."
It makes me wonder about our (I mean the Dem's) media.
They fired all the real editors 20 years ago. Now, if someone is called an editor it’s just a way to pay a reporter more or given in lieu of a real promotion.
Send CNN a case of duct tape.... they need it
The Fake News is manufacturing this story and can't even get their fake stories straight.
Yes, originally is said:
". . . and that this left (insert name HERE) in a "rage."
...but they forgot to add the name.
They use the same report, and insert a different name each time, depending on the day.
The reporter had nothing to do with her ban?
Here’s The REAL Reason The White House Barred That CNN Reporter
She “refused to leave” the Oval Office.

Looks like age discrimination to me.
How did she get such a high paging high status job at such a young age? Is she related to a big shot? Or sleeping her way up like that NYTimes reporter?
? what do sales have to do with this article?
