The CIA has apparently decided to go rouge against the United States, based on recent fake news reports on CNN, NBC and elsewhere. Today at 11 AM Donald Trump will have a press conference.

What should Mr. Trump do about CNN? Should it be credentialed?

What about January 20th, Langley has decided to go rouge leaking nonsense to a sympathetic press trying to discredit the new administration. Should everyone at Langley be put on infinite unpaid furlough, or only the leadership? Should security clearances of all current CIA officers, and all retired CIA employees be removed. Should they be barred from any form of lobbying?

Should Clapper be prosecuted for treason? He has already admitted to lying before Congress while under oath. What level of depravity can a top security agency have, before it is gutted?

Should press, hostile to the United States, be put on the no fly list? Many are very wealthy and can take private jets wherever they want.

CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes, etc should all be classified as fake news and we move on...

They should not be credentialed, should not be given the time of day.

Defund the CIA and as for CNN just make sure it recieves no public money and leave its future to the marketplace.

Oh, how do you solve a problem like John Brennan?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
When I'm with him I'm confused, out of focus and bemused
And I never know exactly where I am
Unpredictable as weather, he's as flighty as a feather
He's a darling! He's a demon! He's a sham!

That was lovely, thank you so much. The NAZI issue implicit in the song was a great touch.

Probably a good idea, but the CIA and FBI should see heads rolling imo.

It's a dangerous business reigning in the CIA and getting them back working for the United States. But its got to be done. Start weeding out the bad ones and the corrupt ones and start from the top. They're a mess. Likewise the FBI and the Justice Department.

They need to clean house at the CIA and FBI, they should have done it back in the bush administration after the 9/11 fiasco and the false intelligence on WMDs in Iraq and on and on. Nobody respects Americas intelligence agencies anymore

It's funny how they try to bully the indie outlets out of the market by calling them not "credible."


Reality is the little guys, who actually want careers, have more incentive to be accurate than the majors. Most are basically echo chambers at this point. When you throw in all the party ties it really is a major concern.

Black Lives Matter is 'fake news.' How much did that influence the election? Social climate in the country?

Edit: Point being multiple agencies knew what was going on.

I would love to see Comey lose his job. He is a dirtbag.
