Benton crossed his arms as he listened to the Chief of Staff announced that the press had to be informed about first contact. He had to roll his eyes at the idea. Both he and the President will never understand the impact that the media has in the country unlike Benton. After all, Benton worked for them for many years before getting into politics. He wanted to say how bad of an idea it was to release this kind of information to the public. That the press are a bunch of fear mongers who cared more about money than publishing the whole story. And releasing the news that aliens have contacted Earth will result in chaos. The Chief of Staff told Benton to write something for the President at a press briefing. He nodded and wrote down some notes before responding, "I will have something down for the President to use, Mike. And I was thinking that the President should address the United Nations so we have a basic understanding of other nations' thoughts on the aliens. Afterwards, I was thinking of setting up a meeting with NATO to address a possible meeting with the aliens face-to-face. And I was also considering for the President to call for an emergency summit with both Russia and China to discuss the possibility of an alien invasion. In private." However, Benton wanted to say more about how stupid it was to release the information to the people. "Plus, we need to be ready for any negative responses for the American citizens. The press is going to eat this groundbreaking information up and spit it out for the public. And it isn't going to be pretty. So, I was thinking that both the President and I answer any questions that the press has. It's the best way to ensure a positive outcome for releasing this information to the media. I hope the speechwriters come up with something good." When he was done speaking to the Chief of Staff, he grabbed a notepad and started to write down notes for the press briefing.
