The media should be ejected from the White House and pushed back to the National Press Club (NPC), where the Press Secretary's office can be located. The media — and the classified intelligence community — have proven themselves worthless at best, dangerously deceptive and even treasonous (John Brennan particularly) this past year. A Trump Channel that goes directly to the public via social media and direct Internet access to such Reality-TV programming as the President might wish to provide, would improve, both the provision of factual information to the public, and the ability of the President to educate and poll the public directly. Re-purposing the space now wasted on the fake news media would give the President an in-house Trump Channel studio, combined with an Open Source Intelligence Center and perhaps also a Grand Strategy presidential support cell under the direction of the National Security Advisor.

UPDATE 2: New graphic proposing termination of National Security Council to be replaced by a National Strategy Council (led by a clerk, not a czar or traitor working for John McCain and the Deep State).
UPDATE 1: Schummer Channel created this week, to take Trump on with “more creative, buzzy, viral content” beginning on Inauguration Day. Source.
Background: The President-Elect understands that both the media and the secret intelligence agencies cannot be relied upon for truthful useful information. At the same time, OMB, Cabinet Members, and Congressional jurisdictions lack their own reliable intelligence (decision-support) capability offering holistic analytics and true cost economics toward a balanced budget and the eradication of waste (50% of the federal budget is documented waste). This is a management opportunity for OMB.
Recommendation: That the Director-Designate of OMB raise with Pence, Priebus, and Flynn the potential value of pushing the Press Secretary and the Press out to the National Press Club, re-purposing this space to house the National Security Advisor and a Grand Strategy Cell that works closely with the DD for Management at OMB, supported by an OMB Open Source Research Cell & Open Source Intelligence Production Unit that provide direct support of the President as well as the Cabinet & OMB while shareable with Congressional Committees, all co-located with Trump Studio for direct educational briefings to the public across all threat, policy, and budget domains. A Public Daily Brief, vastly superior to the President’s Daily Brief, (4% at best of what President needs to know, nothing for the Cabinet or Congress) can be produced, while the Public Briefing Team can support cross-country educational events that — combined with an online outreach program — strive to re-engage 100% of the public in the public enterprise. This initiative empowers the President with decision-support and public awareness such as neither the secret world nor the media (or the USG) can provide today.
Jon Rappoport: Suppose, as rumored, Trump decides to re-cast the whole White House Press Office? Suppose, for example, he intends to deny many veteran reporters their press credentials, and instead welcomes independent journalists?
Suppose Trump decides to establish his own Web channel, and live- streams many fireside chats directly to a global audience, without even letting the press know his schedule?
Suppose the New York Times and the Washington Post fall to the bottom of the pile, left to scramble for crumbs?
Yes, things could get much worse for major media. And they should, because they have been lying to the public ever since the first brick was laid on their first office building.

Phi Beta Iota: The intelligence community leadership (not the good people across the secret world) as well as mainstream media, progressive media, and social media (owner-controllers) have been complicit in high crimes and misdemeanors. Robert Steele's suggestion of throwing the press (and the CIA briefing team) entirely out of the White House and creating a Trump Channel that goes directly to the public (while also opening new channels from the public to the White House) is exactly where we need to go.

UPDATE 1: Sam Biddle at The Intercept: Here’s the Public Evidence Russia Hacked the DNC — It’s Not Enough
Here is the “official” narrative from the White House relying on CIA (John Brennan, not the many good honest people at CIA), as re-played by Crap News Network (CNN) and others, and enforced by Facebook, Google, and YouTube:
01 The Russians “hacked” the US election. Never mind that they never touched a voting machine, did not actually leak anything, and did not affect the voting outcome. Donald Trump is an illegitimate candidate who would not have won if all the emails about pedophilia, electoral fraud against Bernie Sanders, treason including classified information send to IP addresses in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and charity fraud had not come out.
02 All citizen reports and opinions that question the official narrative are “fake news” and should be treated as spam (much the way Zionists now mass to label all criticisms of Zionist atrocities in Palestine and Zionist bribery and blackmail of US officials as “spam” so as to repress these views).
03 The good news: a majority of the public now understands that all institutions but particularly the mainstream media and the US intelligence community, cannot be trusted to deliver the truth about anything.
Comey to Trump: The Russians Didn't Influence the Election
In telephone conversations with Donald Trump, FBI Director James Comey assured the president-elect there was no credible evidence that Russia influenced the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election by hacking the Democratic National Committee and the emails of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. What’s more, Comey told Trump that James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, agreed with this FBI assessment.
OBOR on the Ground: Evaluating China’s “One Belt, One Road” Initiative at the Project Level
A massive infrastructure push is underway across Asia. The region’s infrastructure market could grow by 8 percent annually over the next decade, rising to nearly 60 percent of the global total. All told, the region’s infrastructure needs are estimated to exceed $1 trillion annually. China’s “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR) initiative is at the center of this push. Estimates vary, but all point toward an ambitious endeavor. Geographically, OBOR could span 65 countries responsible for roughly 70 percent of the world’s population. Economically, it could include Chinese investments approaching $4 trillion.
