Remember Jeff Gannon? Well, Chanel Rion says "hold my beer..."



Frank Luntz ✔@FrankLuntz

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.

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?

5. There are parallels between this Rion and Guckert/Gannon.

James "Jeff Gannon" Guckert was hired by "Talon News" to ask softball and laudatory "questions" at George W. Bush's press conferences.

This Rion woman is pretty much the female version, of "Jeff Gannon," only she was hired by "One America News," and is a long-time conspiracy theorist.

It doesn't surprise me that people like this exists. It surprises me that they are given legitimacy with press credentials .
