It’s just being reported by CNN that ABC News has fired reporter Terry Moran after his tweet slandering President Trump and Stephen Miller over the weekend.
Here’s the news:
ABC News is parting ways with veteran correspondent Terry Moran, two days after he posted a missive on X calling President Donald Trump and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller “world-class haters.”
ABC said Tuesday afternoon that Moran’s contract was about to expire, and “based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew.”
“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,” an ABC News spokesperson said.
Prominent television correspondents like Moran, who interviewed Trump in the Oval Office just six weeks ago, typically have multi-year contracts with their employers.
The fact that Moran was at the end of a contract cycle — his deal was set to expire on Friday, according to a person briefed on the matter — made it easier for ABC to take swift action.
Moran’s ABC colleagues were stunned on Sunday when he posted, and then deleted, a highly critical piece of commentary.
I was shocked when ABC News suspended Moran and I’m doubly shocked that they fired him. However, after Trump settled a lawsuit for $16 million with ABC News, I suspect they simply don’t want any more lawsuits over the false and biased things their reporters say.
