In a statement by ABC News’s public relations department and shared with CNN’s Brian Stelter, the Disney-owned liberal network revealed Tuesday they fired longtime correspondent Terry Moran, less than a week after having been suspended for a late-night tweet smearing longtime Donald Trump aide Stephen Miller as “a world-class hater” whose “hatreds are his spiritual nourishment.”

Stelter broke the news right at 5:00 p.m. Eastern:

Stelter added in a follow-up tweet that ABC also told him “we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism.”

Cue the laugh tracks for the absurdity of that statement. While Moran’s axing is something few could have expected if this had occurred, say, eight years ago, it does nothing to change their reputation of weapons-grade liberal bias.

In the time since Moran’s suspension Sunday morning, ABC’s liberal bias hasn’t relented one bit, most notably blaming President Trump for the Los Angeles riots.

Maybe now that Moran is gone he can have time to look back fondly on his 27-year career at ABC News, which included nearly every possible title: ABC News Live anchor, chief foreign correspondent, Nightline co-anchor, senior national correspondent, World News Tonight Sunday anchor, White House correspondent.

But most notably in terms of his history of bias (which our Geoffrey Dickens originally compiled here ahead of his trainwreck April 29 interview with President Trump), Moran has been, at one point or another since 1998, ABC’s Supreme Court reporter.

Our Brent Baker went back and found what will go down as Moran’s final on-air moment with the network. Ever a committed liberal journalist, Moran’s last segment was an interview on ABC News Live with far-left New York Times columnist Charles Blow about Pride Month.
