Enemy Of The People: Book Review









The Enemy of the People
By Jim Acosta
Purchased copy from Kindle


I was excited to learn Jim Acosta was publishing his memoir about covering the president since 2016. I don't know what I was expecting. I was a bit disappointed. The book seemed to re-hash everything I knew about. I found the book dry in parts and not too interesting. If you are a political hound like me. I recommend you don't buy it. You can find everything about his experiences on CNN, and Youtube.

Mr. Acosta talks about some friendships he has lost because of the political climate we are in now. He talks about rallies and tactics that Mr. Trump uses to rile up his base.  Some of it is frightening to think a President can do, or say anything without consequences to the audience. The Journalists and reporters become the center of attention at his rallies to rile up the audience. What CNN did to protect Mr. Acosta when he was sued by the President

Thank you, Mr. Acosta, for standing up for the PEOPLE. You are not the Enemy of the People, The President of the United States is. Thank you, and others like you that stand up to his lies and make him accountable. You put the pressure on him, and others in his cabinet. Unfortunately, Mr. Acosta has become the news. That is one thing a reporter is taught in Journalism. You don't want to make yourself part of the story. Unfortunately, with this president, you don't have a choice.

The only way you make the President accountable. Is to question him. When you question him, you will be attacked by what is not favorable to him. Instead, he spits nails and fights back. We need more journalists to fight back for Freedom of the Press. Unfortunately, there are journalists that are competitive and want to win favors to the president and has sold out journalism. Just to get the story for fame. Thank g-d, some like Mr. Acosta, and Ms. Ryan stand up for the people, and our constitution.
