I'd guess it's CNN's call whom to send? Then I'd also guess there's a brief background check, and then the person the media organization wants to send to the WH gets accredited.
But of course, I do not know. However, I never heard of any (western, non-authoritarian) political office demanding a journalist to be replaced because (s)he says or asks things said office doesn't like.
