If you’re wondering why Ryan Coogler and Sinners have been quietly snubbed all year by Variety, Deadline, Rolling Stone, and The Hollywood Reporter, there is a reason.
These outlets, along with Billboard, VIBE, IndieWire, and award institutions like Golden Globes, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Streamy Awards, and New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, all sit under one corporate umbrella owned by Jay Penske.
When one billionaire controls the press, the charts, and the awards, journalism stops being journalism. It becomes narrative management.
That is why many of these institutions no longer carry cultural weight. Awards feel hollow. Charts feel manufactured. Coverage feels selective. Not because culture stopped evolving, but because legacy media stopped serving the truth and started serving power.
Journalism cannot function without free speech, impartiality, and accountability. Legacy media has abandoned all three.
This is why 2026 marks the real turning point. Not because legacy media is old, but because it has been consolidated, politicized, and weaponized.
The collapse of credibility always precedes the rise of something new.
And that is exactly where we are now.
What an exciting time.

One season David was a shepherd, the next season he was king. One season Ruth was working in a field, the next season she owned that same field.
One season Mordecai was sitting outside the kings palace, next he was in the palace. We serve a God who turns things around, trust Him.
Say her name and remember her. Her family was originally from the Caribbean. She saved millions of people eyesight. Her invention allow millions of people around the world to see. Qualify, intelligent, black woman.
