In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant weighs in on the growing controversy surrounding Stephen A. Smith. For years, Stephen A. has used his enormous platform to elevate Black journalists, commentators, and voices in sports, but now that he's stepping into politics and refusing to simply follow the Democratic Party line, some of those same voices are turning against him. Alex discusses Smith's clash with the National Association of Black Journalists, the criticism coming from some Black commentators, including Black women, and what happens when a prominent Black voice refuses to stay inside the political box others have created for him. Is there room in the Black community for political disagreement, or does stepping outside the expected narrative make you a target? Alex gives his perspective on what the Stephen A. Smith controversy says about politics, race, and independent thinking in America. #TWWSI #StephenASmith #NABJ #BlackVoices #BlackCommunity #IndependentThinking #PoliticsAndCulture #FaithAndCulture #PastorAlexBryant #TheWayWeSeeIt Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

Greetings, Neighbors and Groovers. You got 2 Clear Visions within a month. Talk to me NICELY!! *laughs*On this episode, I go further into a comment I made about Black Media in Jacksonville, Florida. Yeah, it might have been a broad statement, but it isn't anything different than what happens on social media. I can share my thoughts at the moment with a few nuances. Yeah…all of that. So…with that…I shared my initial thoughts about how I see Black Media functioning in Duval. At times, I feel like it doesn't exist due to egos, priorities, and other silly things. The other times, I have hope that we're going to stand together and effectively tell our stories, and it'll be people of our race telling it. On Sunday though (Sable Bourbon meet and greet with Morris Chestnut and Harold Perrineau), it was…interesting. Enjoy the episode. Share your thoughts if any spark up. #TOTHETOP******************Follow all socials and subscribe to Mr. Al Pete's website: https://mralpete.com and subscribe to The MPN Network website: https://mpn-llc.com. Instagram: @mralpete Threads: @mralpeteMPN YouTube: https://youtube.com/@alpete Substack: https://substack.com/@mralpete Discord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY   Powered by The MPN Network*************************Follow The MPN Network socials and site below:Website: https://mpn-llc.comInstagram: @mpnmanagement Threads: @mpnmanagementFacebook: The MPN Network YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@mpnmanagementDiscord: https://discord.gg/HVZCDEPY#mpnnetwork #blackpodcastnetwork #medianetwork

The Stephen A. Smith vs. NABJ controversy is far from over — and now the conversation is getting even bigger.After the National Association of Black Journalists gave Stephen A. Smith its “Thumbs Down” recognition and criticized his commentary about prominent Black women, Stephen A. fired back strongly, calling the accusations against him a “flat out lie.” But instead of the controversy dying down, the debate has continued across the media.Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we revisit the growing feud and examine the arguments being made on both sides. With Stephen A. discussing the controversy in appearances with Chris Cuomo and Sean Hannity, has this become something larger than a disagreement between one commentator and NABJ?We're asking the tough questions: Is NABJ justified in its criticism of Stephen A.? Is Stephen A. being unfairly characterized for criticizing prominent Black women? Is there a difference between tough political commentary and disrespect? And has this feud now become more about media, race, gender and politics than the original award itself?

NFL preseason isn't just about getting ready for Week 1. For players fighting for a roster spot, every snap can determine whether their NFL dream continues.On this episode of Up Close, Too Far Away, Juan Singleton and former NFL player and coach James Saxon go inside training camp and break down what coaches are really watching during the preseason. Saxon explains why consistency matters, how coaches evaluate young players when the game speeds up, and the difficult decisions teams face when choosing between a promising young prospect and a proven veteran. He also explains why high draft picks often get more opportunities to prove themselves while undrafted players may have only a handful of reps to make an impression.Saxon also shares a great story about watching Hall of Fame offensive tackle Willie Roaf and realizing that appearances can be deceiving when evaluating NFL talent. The conversation explores joint practices, training-camp fights, and why practicing against another team can provide a valuable test before the regular season begins.Then the roles reverse as Saxon starts asking the questions. Juan offers his perspective from the media side as they discuss the relationship between players, coaches and journalists, the growing influence of sports-media personalities, and the controversy surrounding Stephen A. Smith and the National Association of Black Journalists.It's another look at the NFL from perspectives you don't always hear: the coach, the player and the journalist.Check out Up Close, Too Far Away on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@fourcastsportsclt and wherever you get your podcasts.

Black on Black Cinema breaks down the National Association of Black Journalists giving Stephen A. Smith its "Thumbs Down" award, reserved for commentary the organization considers especially insensitive, stereotypical, or at odds with NABJ's mission around fair representation of the Black community. NABJ's statement specifically cited Smith's recurring pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media, saying it reinforces harmful narratives and undermines fair, respectful representation.We agree with NABJ here, and we break down exactly why. Smith has spent years building a media empire on saying whatever gets a reaction, and his commentary toward Black women specifically has followed a consistent, well documented pattern that deserves scrutiny; not just from critics online, but from an organization built to hold Black media figures accountable to Black communities. Smith's response was predictably combative, essentially promising retaliation on his platform. He even ran to Fox News' Sean Hannity to make his thoughts known. A curious platform if he is trying to reach Black people...hmmm. We discuss why that reaction proves NABJ's point more than it disproves it, what accountability from within the profession actually looks like, and why Smith's expanding political platform makes this moment even more significant.We also announce the next film to be reviewed which is the 1989 film "Chameleon Street" which follows a social chameleon who impersonates reporters, doctors and lawyers in order to make money. (Film is available to watch on Tubi for free).Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full episode for August 18, 2026. We open by taking a hard look at the polling industry ahead of the 2026 midterms, breaking down Republican pollster Patrick Ruffini's analysis of 3,000 Senate polls over four election cycles, which found an average Democratic-leaning error of 3.7 points and Democrats overstated in 73% of surveys. We debate whether that means blanket-adjusting every poll number, or whether turnout, candidate quality, and a summer electorate that isn't paying attention yet make historical error rates a poor guide to any single race, using the Texas Senate matchup between Ken Paxton and James Tallarico as our test case. From there we run through our Top 3 stories you need to know: an indictment of 17 Iranian nationals tied to the Mabna Institute for a sweeping hacking campaign against U.S. universities, private companies, and government agencies; an arrest warrant issued for former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein after she skipped a court hearing tied to an alleged assault on a police officer; and a guilty plea from a Massachusetts man who identifies as transgender after bringing Molotov cocktails to the Capitol during Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's confirmation hearing. We also dig into the National Association of Black Journalists giving ESPN's Stephen A. Smith a thumbs-down rating for refusing to stay in his ideological lane, and a former Senator John Cornyn staffer's jump to the Tallarico campaign, which we read as a sign of where the polls and the money are pointing rather than any real change in conviction. In American Mamas, Teri Netterville reflects on the death of actress Hayden Panettiere, tracing her rise as a child star through a mother who treated her as a meal ticket, an abusive relationship, drug struggles, and the broader pattern of young Hollywood stars who are chewed up by the industry around them. We Dig Deep into a resurgence of flea-borne typhus in Los Angeles, connecting record case numbers to the city's homelessness policies and a 2020 California law that restricted the most effective rat poisons to protect wildlife. We also cover a new Census Bureau review comparing 2020 voter rolls to citizenship data, which found more than 24,000 confirmed non-citizen votes out of an initial 128 million reviewed, with 32 million more ballots still to be checked, and what President Trump's reaction to that number could mean going forward. For our Bright Spot, we look at a new report showing New York City's congestion pricing hasn't actually improved air quality, then turn to a Washington, D.C. experiment coating streets in light-reflective paint to cool down urban heat islands. We say, "what" to a Minneapolis public school district reportedly handing out free backpacks and school supplies exclusively to American Indian students. And we close with a Moment of Whoa as Jason Burns secretly trains for two weeks to surprise his girlfriend Emma Kessler at the starting line of her first half marathon, running all 13.1 miles by her side.

8.17.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Black Candidate Hit With Fake HIV Smear. Trump Takes Credit For Crime Drop. NABJ Dings Stephen A. A Black Democratic congressional candidate is the targeted in a smear campaign that falsely alerted people by text message that he can't give blood because he is HIV positive.Shevrin Jones, Florida's first out LGBTQ+ Black senator, is here to set the record straight. A former professional basketball player is running to become South Carolina's first Black governor. Dr. Jermaine Johnson will explain why he's the best man for the job. The Trump administration is bragging and taking the credit for violent crime going down, but those crimes have been declining since 2022 - when he wasn't in office. We'll talk to the Senior Director for Public Safety from the Center for American Progress about the numbers. Attorney General Todd Blanche is considering seeking the Supreme Court's intervention to compel states to hand over voter rolls. California prosecutors told jurors Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing was 'an act of revenge' during today's opening statements. The defense says time, corruption, and a lack of facts will be challenges in the case. Saturday, the National Association of Black Journalists gave out its Thumb Down Award, including one to Stephen A. Smith. It's time for a little history lesson. I'll talk to the former president and founder of NABJ about why he began the acknowledgment.

Send us Fan MailI've given Stephen A. Smith plenty of grace. I respect his career, his accomplishments and what he's done for Black people in media.I also believe he has every right to disagree with Jasmine Crockett, Kamala Harris, the National Association of Black Journalists or anybody else.But there's a line for me.When Stephen A. took his dispute with Black journalists and Black women onto Sean Hannity's Fox News platform, I felt differently about it.On this episode of the Concrete Genius Podcast, I react to the Stephen A. Smith/Hannity conversation and break down why I believe having a powerful microphone comes with responsibility.This conversation goes beyond Stephen A. It's about Black media, accountability, political independence, protecting the community while still holding each other accountable, and knowing who is being entertained when we publicly expose our disagreements.Can Stephen A. criticize Black politicians without being called a sellout? Absolutely.But should there be a difference between criticism and taking internal grievances to an audience that may have completely different intentions?That's the conversation.Concrete Genius PodcastConcreteGeniusMedia.comSupport the show

   We got our first peak at the 2026 Chiefs on Saturday and as you might expect, it was a mixed bag.  Lots of sloppy play, one  player with a disappointing defensive performance and a couple guys on offense that turned heads.  It's a start and was nice to see football again.  One question... why are the Chiefs hyping Patrick Mahomes so much publicly?  The whole broadcast felt like an "oversell."    You're going to need a bowl of popcorn to watch this one.... Steven A Smith of ESPN is given a thumbs down award from the National Association of Black Journalists and he has now vowed to report things he says he's known for years about this organization.  I can't wait.    Royals left Noah Cameron is on a heater and his latest is a near no-hitter against the Angels.  Jac Caglianone is on his way to becomgin Royals player of the year. Legendary pitcher Tommy John dies at age 83 and it's a crying shame he's not in the Hall of Fame.  I'll explain why.     In the news, Donald Trump does a 180 on North and South Korea.  Ty Masterson gets a big union endorsement.  My interaction with an off duty KCK police officer is just fantastic and scientists have discovered the dolphins know how to fish with bait.

The Rickey Smiley Morning Show kicked off the week with a mix of breaking news, celebrity headlines, and cultural conversation. The team discussed the devastating flooding in Indiana, where more than 11 inches of rain triggered historic flooding, forced hundreds of rescues and evacuations, and left at least seven people dead as recovery efforts continue across the state. The conversation then shifted to Keke Palmer, whose latest comments encouraged women to focus less on a man’s bank account and more on his character, work ethic, and emotional maturity. Palmer specifically praised blue-collar professionals like mechanics and firefighters, reigniting a broader social media debate about modern dating standards and what truly makes a partner “high value.” The entertainment buzz continued with growing reactions to Stephen A. Smith receiving the National Association of Black Journalists’ 2026 “Thumbs Down” Award. NABJ cited what it described as a recurring pattern of disparaging commentary about prominent Black women in politics, sports, and media, a move that has sparked strong reactions across journalism and social media circles. Meanwhile, Usher shared an emotional milestone as his oldest son, Cinco, officially enrolled at Howard University. The proud father celebrated the achievement with a heartfelt message, joining a growing trend of celebrity children choosing HBCUs for their college experience. The show also highlighted Clarissa Shields reclaiming championship gold in the boxing ring, celebrity boxing antics featuring Ray J, and the latest entertainment news from Atlanta and beyond.

ITL kicks off the show by reacting to another weekend of Texans Training Camp, where the offense and defense once again exchanged blows during practice. With Houston's defense expected to be one of the NFL's best, the guys ask whether the offense consistently holding its own against that group is enough evidence to say this Texans offense is legitimately better. The conversation then shifts to the Astros and the AL West, as ITL debates what winning one of baseball's weakest and most tightly contested divisions would actually say about where the Astros are as an organization. The first hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What endeavor or project would you take on if you were rich? ITL then goes Around The NFL, reacting to the biggest news and storylines from across the league before asking whether the Texans could be headed for another slow start to the regular season and what needs to happen to prevent it. What's Popping closes the hour with the biggest stories from sports and entertainment. Later, Reggie shares what he learned from conversations with several Texans assistant coaches at practice, giving the crew insight into different players, position groups, and developments taking shape as camp continues. The guys and listeners then come clean during another edition of ITL Lunch-Time Confessions before handing out their Winners & Losers of the Weekend. The final hour begins with Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans speaking to the media, as ITL listens in and reacts to his biggest comments with Houston preparing for another important week of camp. The show wraps with Figgy's Mixtape, featuring a Houston man accused of threatening the Texas Governor's Office over issues accessing an anime website, another Houstonian going viral for helping move traffic on the Northwest side, the growing back-and-forth between Stephen A. Smith and the National Association of Black Journalists, and more.

Doc Walker and Anthony dive into the war of words between Stephen A. Smith and the National Association of Black Journalists.

Trump”; Trump Administration accuses China of evading U.S. tariffs by shipping products through other countries to the U.S.; United Nations Security Council holds a meeting on Yemen, where attacks by Iranian-supported Houthis on Saudi Arabia and international shipping have increased, sparking fears of a wider war.

"You're a co-pilot, you are a therapist, you are an archivist," reflects journalist and cultural critic Gerrick Kennedy of his role as a ghostwriter. Kennedy is the co-author of the just-published memoir Phases, from singer, songwriter and actress Brandy—an immediate #1 New York Times best-seller. He is the author of two previous books, and his work has appeared in a variety of publications, including Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, GQ, Men's Health, Spin, and Playboy. A former staff writer for The Los Angeles Times, where he covered pop music and culture, Kennedy was honored in 2012 with an Emerging Journalist of the Year award by the National Association of Black Journalists. Regarding his current collaboration with Brandy, he had known the multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning artist for several years before they decided to work together on her memoir—and after his first few ghostwriting assignments, he's still getting used to his emerging role as the caretaker of someone else's story. "You wear so many hats when you are doing a collaborative project," he says. "There are so many conversations that you have with a person, and so much of it is going to be, 'This is me releasing it, and I don't want to hold this myself anymore… and now you can carry it with you, but it's not for the book.' It gives you context. It gives you ideas. It gives you understanding. But it ultimately just ends up becoming another secret."

1.30.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Don Lemon, Georgia Fort Arrested Over Church Protest. Press Freedom on the Line Under Trump. Former CNN anchor and journalist Don Lemon and independent Minnesota journalist Georgia Fort were arrested along with two others in connection to the Minnesota church protests. Lemons predicted his arrest would still happen after the Department of Justice abandoned his arrest warrant on Tuesday. Lemon says he was there reporting--not protesting and, a judge recently rejected prosecutors attempts for his arrest. The question now is, what does this mean for our first amendments rights, what does it mean for journalists reporting real news -- and, what does it mean for people who challenge power and injustice under this Trump administration? Tonight, we talk with Erin Haines, President of the National Association of Black Journalists, and Octavia Treadway, Chair of the Center for Broadcast Journalism, to unpack the implications for journalists and the public.
