ABC News’ Terry Moran is no longer
with the network. The veteran reporter and host for the network for the
past 28 years was fired after he posted an unhinged tweet attacking
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The post was deleted,
but ABC News quickly suspended Moran and fired him days later.
Here’s the Moran meltdown:
An ABC News insider said that there
was “no alternative,” the network had to fire Moran despite him voicing
an opinion that many of his colleagues agreed with; he just got caught
posting it (via Fox News):
ABC
News was left with "no alternative" but to let longtime correspondent
Terry Moran go over his now-deleted X post attacking President Donald
Trump and top White House aide Stephen Miller, according to one network
staffer.
"It's just sad honestly," the ABC News staffer told Fox
News Digital. "It's sad for him, a long-time colleague, friend, a good
person, family man… It's just unfortunate, but there was no alternative,
especially in these times."
The network insider acknowledged
that, with the industry-wide issue of distrust of the legacy media, not
addressing Moran's post promptly and having the drama dragged out could
have cost ABC viewership.

"At ABC News, we hold all of
our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and
professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward,
trusted journalism," the spokesperson added.
That’s the part that kills me: the network holding the “highest
standards of objectivity.” We know it’s a lie lest we forget Moran’s
firing for disregarding that aspect, which has been a long time coming.
He’s now on Substack.
