Table of Contents
If youre reading this book, theres a good chance you already know the media is, at the very least, not your friend. In fact, youre likely aware that the media has been stabbing you in the back right in front of your face. You know theyve been pushing a one-sided agenda while only pretending to have your interests at heart, pretending to be objective, pretending to speak truth to power, pretending to be the one institution protecting our country from the brink of collapse.
Were all aware of this. But the evidence, when presented to us, is still shocking.
For my book, The Scandalous Presidency of Barack Obama , I not only detailed dozens of very real and serious scandals of the Obama administration but I also showed how the media ignored and downplayed every single one of them. That was, perhaps, the most scandalous aspect of it all. The media didnt speak truth to power when Barack Obama exceeded his constitutional authority, violated laws or covered up crimes, or even attacked the institution of the free press. Their modus operandi was to protect Barack Obama at all costs. They didnt deign to be objective when it came to covering Americas first black president. With their help, Obama was elected to the highest office of the land (twice!) despite his radical agenda, lack of executive experience, and repeated abuses of power.
Compare that with how theyve treated President Donald J. Trump. His media coverage is 90 percent negativedespite a more substantial record of accomplishment in two years than Obama had over eight. That Trump is doing a good job is irrelevant. The medias modus operandi is no longer to protect the president at all costs, but to take the president down.
But, the medias love for Obama and hate for Trump is just the tip of the media bias icebergtheres so much more under the surface. In Enemies: The Press vs. The American People, Peter DAbrosca tackles the entire iceberg, thoroughly exposing the medias dishonesty as they work tirelessly to destroy, not just Trump, but all things conservative. Peter tackles the issues in a forthright manner. Just as he does in his reporting at Big League Politics , Peter gives the mainstream a thorough beatdown, tackling the issue of media bias with humor and brutal honesty, calling them out for their B.S. Like Trump, Peter tells it like it is.
Perhaps thats why its no surprise that, like myself, Peter grew up in New England. Weve both managed to survive the bluest of the blue areas on the map and come out conservative. We know what its like to be surrounded by people who unquestioningly believe left-wing talking points. We know that the best way to fight back against the propaganda is to be ruthless. In this book, Peter is just that.
It should never be the objective of the media to protect a president because they agree with the presidents policies. The first amendment exists as a check on the power of the government. For too long, the media has been acting like state-sponsored propaganda for the Democrat Party, shamelessly parroting left-wing talking points while acting bewildered whenever someone, particularly President Trump, doesnt appreciate their hard work. The evidence Peter presents in this book demonstrates conclusively that the mainstream media is nothing more than the public relations arm of the Democratic party.

How President Trump Saved Us From
Barack Obamas Legacy
In August of 2018 I attended an Antifa protest of the Silent Sam statue on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as part of my duties as a national political reporter. The protest quickly turned into a violent riot, during which I was assaulted three times by masked Antifa thugs. I took a fairly serious blow to the head before Campus Police broke up the moband detained me instead of the raucous anti-fascists who were guilty of the assault.
After being hauled into an academic building crawling with a paramilitary brigade of State Troopers, being handcuffed, tossed against a wall, and searched while police blinded me with LED flashlights, I calmly explained that I was a reporter, showed my press credentials and the footage of my assault, and was released after police took a statement.
ABC11, a local news channel, covered the nights activities. They called it a relatively peaceful demonstration. But why would the press excuse violence of that sort?
Later, HuffPost would write a hit piece on yours truly, blaming me for instigating the Antifa violence with my pesky reporting, and saying that there were no arrests until my altercation (a term used loosely to describe my questioning of black-clad, mask-wearing Antifas, which is my job) with the violent mob. I was also accused of egging on the mob. Further, HuffPost labeled me a conspiracy theorist, and quoted some dopey PhD studentlikely wasting her mid-twenties in the barren wasteland of academiawho insisted that I was a sophisticated fascist. That part was sort of nice, considering it was the first time I have ever been called sophisticated.
But the most striking part of the ordeal was not that ABC and HuffPost downplayed the radical nature and dangers of the far left, or that they failed to report on the assault of a fellow reporter at the hands of a violent leftist mob. Rather, it was their reaction hours earlier to two men who showed up at the rally hoisting a Confederate flag to counter protest on behalf of Silent Sam, which had been illegally toppled nearly a week earlier by brainwashed UNC halfwits.
Silent Sam was erected in 1913 by the Daughters of the Confederacy as a memorial to the Confederate soldiers who were students at UNC and took up arms to fight the Union Army during the Civil War. The atrocities committed by the Union Army were unspeakable. They included plundering, pillaging, and rape of anyonewhite or blackwho stood in the way of the storming Union troops. Often lost in the leftist rewrite of history is the fact that the Confederate Army was integrated. The statue honored the legacy of the young men who fought to protect their families before it was recklessly destroyed by lawless communists in the name of equality. To them, the statue only represented white supremacy, a notion surely taught by radical left-wing humanities professors who only teach because they lack the necessary skill set to work in private industry.
When the two men showed up to the campus, Confederate flag in tow, it was dusk. The rioting had yet to begin. Most of the participants were milling around, waiting for the cover of darkness.
The local mainstream press swarmed the men like a pack of hungry dogs, shoving cameras in their faces and taking endless pictures. There must have been thirty reporters who encircled the Southern men, gawking at them like they were rare zoo animals.
