The Showtime documentary “We Need To Talk About Cosby”, received 4 Emmy Award nominations. However, there’s something very fishy about the new influx of sexual assault-themed documentaries that seem almost exclusively reserved for famous black men. No matter how deceptive, unethical, or devoid of factual information these big-budgeted “documentaries” are, they all seemingly win awards in the end—all of them. It’s safe for the critical thinker to deduce that this reflexive winning of awards and nominations is an orchestrated strategy. The awards help decorate, legitimize and validate these unethical hit pieces that should never have been made in the first place. And black comedian W. Kamau Bell pretending to be a genuine “child of Cosby” putting his legacy into perspective, but from a very programmed, restricted, and corporate controlled narrative is merely a new strategy in the American propaganda playbook.
Was “We Need To Talk About Cosby” truly Emmy-worthy? Bell’s “documentary” was based on serious allegations—but made without a shred of proof or due process. It was 100% based on emotional evidence-less hearsay. In fact, that was always the case with the Cosby allegations that legacy media did an uncanny job suppressing all these years. From day one, many mainstream platforms had a vested interest in keeping the accuser’s stories together in order to program and sell Cosby’s undeniable guilt. When accusers were caught in inconsistencies, biased mainstream platforms assisted in covering it up in order to keep the lucrative #metoo-inspired narrative intact.
To this day many people still don’t understand how compromised legacy media operates or the mind control mechanisms at work. There’s always an angle and a story to sell, and it’s protected at all costs. Many media conglomerates carrying out agendas often do not want people to have access to all the information, and they don’t want informed people forming their own conclusions. This documentary follows the very same pattern of controlling the conversation to never cast any doubt on what was alleged or present any information that could break the spell of mass indoctrination.
Bell is not truly trying to have an open conversation taking all things into consideration. Whether most people believe Cosby is guilty or not is irrelevant. The fact remains that without any evidence or a conviction in court, this is an entire documentary based on hearsay, and from a journalistic standpoint that is very irresponsible.
The interesting question is why are these types of hearsay-based sexual assault documentaries always winning awards? What exactly made “We Need To Talk About Cosby” and all the others so Emmy nomination worthy? Let’s really ‘talk’ about “We Need To Talk About Cosby”.
Something’s Missing
The documentary focused heavily on what Cosby was accused of doing and Bell and his guests pertinaciously spoke as if it was all proven fact. However, a documentary that claims to want a dialogue, even in its name, strangely did not talk about or present another side of the story. One would assume there is no other side of the story–only there is. Many of Cosby’s accusers skated through mainstream media platforms never having to answer for any of the inconsistencies and lies many of them were caught in through the years. It seems Bell didn’t want to change the direction of his Emmy-nominated documentary with any of that very factual documented information.
Many people have been suspicious, even some celebrities, and do not believe the allegations. Only these people are never invited to share their perspectives or join mainstream conversations. We’re living in a dangerous era in which merely asking questions about an accusation is looked at as a transgression. This documentary proposes “we” talk, but with no contrarian voices allowed at the table? So who is W. Kamau Bell talking to about Cosby?

The documentary also strangely did not mention the multi-million dollar lawsuits covertly and strategically being pursued against Bill Cosby by some of the people featured. Nor did this documentary talk about or explain why Bill Cosby’s conviction was overturned. Legacy media told us it was due to a “technicality”, but that was another lie. It was because of multiple instances of prosecutorial misconduct. In layman’s terms, Bill Cosby was not found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The judge and District Attorney cheated to unconstitutionally rig a conviction. Shouldn’t this have been discussed in the documentary? However, Bell is not equipped to ever challenge systemic corruption caught red-handed or talk about such things. Naive, mild-mannered, and compromising, he’s just not that guy.
Bell also did not talk about why he didn’t even reach out to Bill Cosby or his spokespeople for anything even though he was making an entire documentary about him.
In short, the documentary really shouldn’t have won anything. These types of “documentaries” shouldn’t even be referred to as documentaries and should be repudiated. Where’s the research and what exactly did they document? When you remove the smoke and mirrors, the great lighting, the dramatic music, and the acting, one may discover that it isn’t a documentary at all. It’s a well-funded attack piece, pretending to be objective when it isn’t.
“We Need To Talk About Cosby” was clearly not made to have a real, honest and open talk about Cosby. It’s grossly and deliberately one-sided. These hit pieces are yellow journalism propaganda and are tied to strategic money-making agendas. What’s worse is that powerful American media conglomerates seem to enthusiastically crank them out to villainize, humiliate and lynch powerful black men. Sadly, though, so many in this generation are completely indoctrinated. We are given hand-selected fake heroes like W. Kamau Bell, with younger generations not understanding what real journalism is or what real documentaries should entail.
Here is the sobering truth that may never be said on a mainstream platform: This entire documentary was based on the word of accusers recruited, coached, and represented by Gloria Allred—who is simultaneously trying to win money in civil lawsuits against Cosby. No, this is not award-worthy stuff here. These covertly racist documentaries are made playing to the liberal feminist ideologues and the new victim culture zealots that do not require any evidence for claims and do not respect due process. Let’s talk about some of these other award-winning “documentaries”.
Leaving Neverland
HBO spent a lot of money kicking off robust promotion for the film “Leaving Neverland,” which portrayed the late Michael Jackson as a sex offender and groomer of children. What Dan Reed, Oprah, and HBO failed to confess to viewers is that the two featured actors in this movie were liars, and much of their claims did not check out as truthful. Although American media was silent, several international media outlets tore the film to shreds because much of the information and claims made weren’t checking out. The featured men were also exposed and dismissed in court.

When Michael Jackson was alive, he had his day in court and was found not guilty. So whether tabloid-influenced people or HBO executives emotionally felt MJ was guilty or not should’ve been irrelevant. If the facts and evidence aren’t there, it’s just not there. Period. They chased the money anyway, unethically released it, buried all the inaccuracies, but were eventually exposed.
In an alternate universe where things happen as they should, “Leaving Neverland” would have been pulled. However, in the universe we live in now—no, there were no retractions or an apology to Michael Jackson’s family, friends, or fans. Instead “Lead Neverland,” remained on the air and also somehow won an Emmy.
Dateline’s “The Cosby Accusers Speak”
In October 2015, Dateline aired episodes featuring the accounts of 27 of Bill Cosby’s accusers. What the public didn’t know is that many of the claims made by several of the women were not consistent with previous claims they made. And most of them didn’t even have claims of being drugged or raped. To add to the insanity, one of the featured women was a serial sexual assault accuser and lawsuit chaser, and unsuccessfully sued Marv Albert over a decade prior.
NBC went full speed ahead anyway and polished up several dubious accounts and shady backgrounds of some of the women. There was no objectivity, no due process, and no evidence provided. So basically a bunch of women who were recruited by Gloria Allred, who were also covertly angling to win money from Bill Cosby, were allowed to walk onto live television and appeal to the court of public opinion with no cross-examination. This was problematic. Instead of being called out for its reckless lack of journalistic integrity, it too was nominated for an Emmy and eventually won the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award in 2017.
Surviving R. Kelly
Surviving R. Kelly was another documentary not offering much substance. Playing off of the information we already knew about R. Kelly from the 90s, this documentary crammed in many additional fallacies and exaggerations in order to portray R. Kelly as exceptionally evil for ratings. In truth, R. Kelly was no angel and he did have relations with under-aged women, but so did countless other music stars throughout the years from Elvis to Mick Jagger. He went after young girls, but unfortunately, he was nothing we haven’t seen before. Regardless, looking for its next black male target to feast on, American propaganda machines unleashed its full power toward making R. Kelly public enemy number 1, and it worked. After the public had been soundly propagandized, R. Kelly was eventually thrown in jail and sentenced to an astonishing 30 years in prison. “Surviving R. Kelly” suspiciously won “Best Documentary” at the MTV Movie & TV Awards.
The Johnny Depp Lesson
There are many lessons to learn from some celebrity cases that in many ways are reflections of our society. With Johnny Depp, the mere allegations from Amber Heard led to Depp being “canceled”, pulled from movie productions, and maligned in the court of public opinion. After the televised trial, however, people began to realize they formed opinions too soon and completely misjudged the situation. It was Heard who was treacherous and pathologically dishonest. Heard eventually lost to Depp in court.
There are many other instances of allegations that were exposed as not being true. Almost identical to Cosby was the case of British actor William Roache. Just like Cosby, multiple women came out to retroactively accuse Roache of rape in the 1960s and 70s when they were young teens between 12-16 years old. On the mere allegations alone Roache was assumed guilty, written out of his show, and arrested. After a trial in 2014, however, every single accuser was exposed for lying and Roache was vindicated.
The point? It doesn’t matter if the whole world emotionally believes something the media doubles down on. Working off of unproven allegations alone without due process or evidence should never, under any circumstances, be the foundation of an award-winning “documentary”. It will always be bad form.
Putting Things In Perspective
The sad truth is that we are living in an age of unparalleled deception. Powerful corporate entities are rife with corruption and myriad agendas. Consequently, many of the projects pumped out and highly promoted simply cannot be trusted. Watching television and believing everything presented is very unwise, to say the least.
We are living through days of mass indoctrination when it comes to a variety of subjects. Almost all mainstream platforms, even obscure ones somewhat in support of Bill Cosby, still accept everything that was told to us as gospel. However, a real, even-handed, deep-diving documentary would have seized the opportunity to courageously pull everything that was buried by legacy media platforms to light. On the contrary, “We Need To Talk About Cosby” did not talk to anyone outside of the “believe women”- #metoo bubble. Nor did it present anything respectful of the fact that Bill Cosby and his family, friends, and drowned-out supporters maintain his innocence. When you hold these “award-winning” documentaries and docu-series’ up to legitimate journalistic standards, it seems the awards are not truly deserved based on merit. They might be easily winning awards because they’re all tied to powerful corporate machines with agendas, and the narrative is very carefully controlled.
W. Kamau Bell is no hero or great documentarian. The entities that selected him and gave him the platform most likely already know that. He’s a liberal tool that lacked the courage to even call or face the man he made a documentary about, a man he claimed used to be an idol of his. Bell is just another hand-selected black stooge working against a black icon, and for liberal feminist agendas.
When you learn all of the shocking information that these corporate entities deliberately concealed in order to release these fake documentaries, cooperating and benefiting from their agendas is an open decision to consort with evil. So as Bell proudly beams from his Emmy nominations, an interesting query that comes to mind is, “Are the 30 pieces of silver worth the loss of one’s soul?” At any rate, “We Need To Talk About Cosby” is probably not truly an award-winning documentary, but perhaps another “rewarded” one.
