Year after year, the televised ceremony made fun of its own lack of scruples, inviting the public to laugh along with the big joke. And everyone was happy to do so, especially NBC and the corporate entertainment media, which made a fortune on advertising.<\/p>\n<p>So when the <em>Los Angeles Times<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/02\/22\/l-a-times-hollywood-press-group-that-selects-golden-globes-winners-has-no-black-members\/\">dropped<\/a> the not-so-surprising news that the people behind the Globes \u2014 the Hollywood Foreign Press Association \u2014 were a bunch of junket whores with passports who accepted studio bribes and had no black members to boot, everyone in Hollywood went \u201cduh\u201d but then had to pretend they were shocked \u2014 <em>shocked!<\/em> \u2014 that such corruption could exist.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Almost instantly, the Globes went from Hollywood\u2019s second most important awards show to industry leper. On Sunday, a much-diminished version of the annual show is set to take place, but it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2022\/01\/07\/nolte-golden-globes-wont-even-stream-this-year\/\">won\u2019t air or stream live<\/a>, so complete is the ceremony\u2019s excommunication. But as anyone with a passing familiarity with awards season knows, the real scandal isn\u2019t the HFPA\u2019s corruption, which was an open secret. And it certainly wasn\u2019t the group\u2019s lack of diversity, a red herring if there ever was one.<\/p>\n<p>The true corruption lies with the corporate news media, which eagerly played along with the charade because they were making too much money. They gave the Globes an air of legitimacy instead of holding it accountable. That they should then turn around and throw the Globes under the diversity bus was not only the epitome of misdirection, but also a convenient way of absolving themselves of their complicity in the whole affair.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19416586\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AP19074672563908.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-19416586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AP19074672563908.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1394\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">FILE \u2013 This Jan. 6, 2019 file photo shows members of the media on the red carpet prior to the 76th annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif.

When I was an entertainment reporter at the <em>LA Times<\/em>, I pitched the Globes-corruption story on more than one occasion \u2014 as I suspect other reporters did, too \u2014 only to be met with silence from senior editors. They knew as well as we that the Globes was a cash cow for the newspaper as studios and networks bought pricey for-your-consideration ads to promote their movies and TV shows.<\/p>\n<p>Now fast forward to last year when COVID-19 was wreaking havoc in Hollywood, turning the annual awards season into a virtual ghost town. With far fewer FYC ads to attract, and not much else to write about either, the entertainment media complex no longer had any need to protect the Globes and so they released the cancel mob on their one-time partner.<\/p>\n<p>No one had more to gain from the \u201cscandal\u201d than NBC, which has broadcast the Globes for decades. The Comcast-owned network made a fortune on the annual ceremony, reportedly paying more than $20 million a year for the rights to air the show. Just three years ago, NBC renewed its contract with the HFPA and Dick Clark Productions for another eight years.<\/p>\n<p>Then ratings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2020\/01\/06\/nolte-preliminary-golden-globes-ratings-hit-another-low\/\">started to tank<\/a> as woke fever took over Hollywood, turning the once free-wheeling ceremony into an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/02\/28\/sacha-baron-cohen-mocks-donald-trump-rudy-giuliani-at-golden-globes\/\">insufferable lecture<\/a>. Even anti-woke host Ricky Gervais couldn\u2019t staunch the bleeding. Stuck for another eight years with a product in decline, what was NBC to do?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Watch below:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>You get the picture. The network was among the first to denounce the Globes once the <em>LA Times<\/em> story broke, saying it was canceling the 2022 broadcast. If it were smart, NBC would be capitalizing on the controversy to renegotiate its contract, which you can bet it is. In fact, it might have been the whole purpose of the \u201cscandal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Golden Globes deserves its ignominious fate. But so too do the show\u2019s corporate media enablers who will never hold themselves accountable.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Follow David Ng on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HeyItsDavidNg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@HeyItsDavidNg<\/a>.
