Stephen A. Smith is firing back after the National Association of Black Journalists gave him its 2026 “Thumbs Down” award—and MAGA may have come to his rescue!
NABJ accused Stephen A. Smith of having a recurring pattern of disparaging prominent Black women across politics, sports and media. Stephen A. rejected that accusation as a “flat-out lie,” called the award politically motivated and warned the organization that it would regret coming after him.
But here’s where it gets messy: Stephen A. took his defense directly to Sean Hannity on Fox News. Is conservative media now providing Stephen A. the platform and support that Black journalists would not? Did NABJ legitimately hold him accountable—or punish him for criticizing Democrats such as Kamala Harris, Michelle Obama and Jasmine Crockett?
We’re examining the NABJ award, Stephen A.’s furious response, his Hannity appearance and the political battle surrounding one of America’s most recognizable Black media personalities.
Join the conversation: Did Stephen A. deserve the “Thumbs Down” award, or was this a political hit job?
