One America News Chief White House Correspondent Chanel Rion asked President Trump how he feels about mainstream media organizations being in lock step with Chinese propaganda efforts accusing him of being racist for calling COVID-19 the "Chinese virus."

Rion led the two-part question by first asking Trump if he considers calling food originating from China as "Chinese food" racist.
"No, I don't think it's racist. I don't think it's racist at all," Trump replied.
"On that note, major left-wing news media, even in this room, have teamed up with Chinese communist party narratives and they are claiming you are racist for making these claims about 'Chinese virus.' Is it alarming that major media players...are consistently siding with foreign state propaganda, Islamic radicals, and Latin gangs and cartels and they work right here at the White House with direct access to you and your team?
"It amazes me when I read the things I read. It amazes me when I read The Wall Street Journal, which is always so negative, it amazes me when I read The New York Times, I barely read it. We don’t distribute it in the White House anymore. Same thing with The Washington Post, because, see, I know the truth. People don’t know what it is. They use different slogans and different terms for me every week. You see me, there’s no chaos. I’m the one telling everybody to be calm. There is no chaos in the White House, we have unbelievable professionals," Trump replied.
"They're dishonest. And you know what? Someday, hopefully in five years, I won’t be here. That’ll be fine. I will have done, I think, a great job. I don’t think anyone has done as much in three and a half years as I’ve done and the administration. This administration has done a great job. The press is very dishonest," he continued.
Rion asked Trump if he thinks the media is siding with China.
"I think they do. They are siding with China. They are doing things they shouldn’t be doing...China is the least of it. Why they are doing this, you'll have to ask them. If we had an honest media in this country, our country would be an even greater place," he said.
It is worth noting Rion had previously reported how it was possible COVID-19 was created in lab in a North Carolina.
Chanel Rion previously reported that the #coronavirus was created in a lab in North Carolina, citing a “monitored source” who was just a guy on Twitter @-tagging her on his conspiracy theories. https://t.co/x5FbmNeuWv pic.twitter.com/fQ3BHfUgwr— Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) March 19, 2020
OAN Reporter Asks Trump How He Feels About Media 'Teaming Up' With China to Criticize Him
Guess she could say about as helpful as the lib press calling Trump a racist when he says it started in China. These press people are so childish.
They come across like a room full of children
Stealing that!!!
CBN News is great, too. Especially, with information about Israel.
That’s more a question the Juvenile Petty Leftist Media Brats should answer about themselves.
In my view, she, by asking the question, was accusing POTUS of racism. I’m sure she snidely thought she was oh so clever by couching it as a question, but if SHE also reported that Covid-19 came from a lab in NC, who does she think she’s fooling?
not guilty
Batman to Robin:
I would hit that so hard words would fly out of thin air describing the impact.
Way to go to Chanel! You go girl!
Does anyone remember when the Democrats and Al Qaeda were passing criticisms back and forth to see what would stick, with the media broadcasting the propaganda from both?
I see what you are saying, but would say they are not being childish, they are being exceptionally corrupt, partisan and lying — all intentional. A child’s actions are often innocent actions of youth. That cannot be said of these pathetic people.
Oh my
So there's that.
Actually, it probably was, given the role media played in thwarting the Presiden’t mission of stopping travel from China in early February.
