ABC "News" had no idea -- none! -- that Terry Moran was a woke activist before this.
ABC News suspended correspondent Terry Moran after he described Trump adviser Stephen Miller as a "world-class hater" in a post critics say exposed the deep-rooted bias in mainstream media. The network called Moran's comments "subjective personal attacks" and a violation of journalistic standards.
Key Details:
Moran posted late Saturday night that Miller is "richly endowed with the capacity for hatred," calling both Miller and Trump "world-class haters."
ABC News suspended Moran, saying the comments do "not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards."
Vice President JD Vance called the remarks a "vile smear," while the White House press secretary blasted them as "unacceptable and unhinged."
Diving Deeper:
ABC News is under fire after suspending Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran for a late-night social media tirade targeting Stephen Miller, a top adviser to President Donald Trump. In a since-deleted post on X, Moran unleashed a highly personal critique of Miller, claiming the White House aide is "richly endowed with the capacity for hatred" and feeds on it "like spiritual nourishment."
"The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism," Moran wrote. "It's not brains. It's bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater."
The post also lumped Trump into the same category, calling both him and Miller "world-class" haters--language that ignited swift condemnation from conservatives and further fueled distrust of corporate media.
ABC News confirmed Moran's suspension to Axios, stating: "ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others. The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards."
The response from the Trump Administration was immediate. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared on Fox News Sunday morning, calling Moran's rhetoric "unacceptable and unhinged." She added, "I think this speaks to the distrust that the American public have in the legacy media."
Vice President JD Vance echoed those sentiments in a post of his own, calling Moran's words a "vile smear."
Stephen Miller, a central figure in the administration's hardline immigration policy, responded directly, saying, "For decades, the privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist's pose."
Meanwhile: Here's how another ABC "journalist" reported on the mass burning of cars -- it was "just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn," so Trump should definitely not send in law enforcement to shut this innocent "fun" down.
