Chanel Rion Biography
Chanel Rion is an American broadcaster, political cartoonist, and children’s book author. She is the chief White House correspondent for One America Network News (OAN), a far-right American cable channel.
Rion was born and raised in Houston, Texas in the United States of America. She attended Harvard Extension School, where she was a member of the right-wing student group, the Anscombe Society. At Harvard Extension School, she met Courtland Sykes, who would become her fiance.
In 2019, Chanel became the weekend White House correspondent for OAN. She was named OAN’s chief White House correspondent in January 2020 after Emerald Robinson left OAN. In July 2020, the media watchdog Media Matter reported that Chanel had appeared on a streaming program that promotes the far-right conspiracy theory QAnon, where she asserted Q’s existence.
In addition, on April 1, 2020, the White House Correspondents’ Association removed OAN and Rion from the White House briefing room press briefings due to violating the Association’s COVID-19 attendance policy. The policy only allowed 14 reporters in the briefing room daily and required that all reporters occupy a sea. Rion returned to the White House briefing room again, citing Grisham’s invitation.
Moreover, Chanel self-publishes political cartoons under the label “The Left Edge.” In 2017, she began drawing political cartoons. She also works as managing editor at a small publishing press owned by her sister Channing that publishes works by the Ryan family. She has written young adult fiction novels for young women.
