OAN’s Chanel Rion is fighting fire with fire and pushing back against the stodgy, snotty, legacy-media dominated White House Correspondent’s Association and it’s about damn time. Remember when some anonymous journo (we’re pretty sure it was some nob from CNN) left her a nasty note about how she wasn’t good enough to be in the briefings?
What a bunch of a-holes.
We’re sure they’ll love this:

117 years old.
Talk about ancient.
Time for some fresh points of view, media, so suck it up.
Chanel Rion named this the National White House Correspondents Association because her original name for it, the People Who Show Up and Ask Questions (or PWSUAQ for short), was already copyrighted by me. https://t.co/CKHfMBuIkT

Seems a little clunky as well.

Your journalistic work stands out in the crowd of media puppets
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ??

@whca is Exclusionary and an Old Boys' Club of Press Bullies!! Rion's newly formed NWHCA has begun accepting applications by invitation only. LOL!

Seriously past time to start pushing back against the legacy media who seem to think they own the news.
This is great.
