ABC New has just suspended their veteran reporter who slandered President Trump and Stephen Miller overnight, and then deleted the tweet.
I said before I’d be shocked if ABC did anything serious, and it looks like they have. We don’t know how long the suspension is, but hopefully it will be for a while.
Here’s the news from CNN:
Veteran ABC News correspondent Terry Moran was suspended Sunday after he posted a highly critical assessment of President Donald Trump and Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on the social media platform X.
In the missive, which was posted shortly after midnight, Moran said both Trump and Miller are “world-class haters.” For Trump, he said, hatred is “only a means to an end, and that end is his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”
For Miller, on the other hand, “hatreds are his spiritual nourishment,” Moran charged. “He eats his hate.”
Moran — who landed a rare Oval Office interview with Trump in April — later deleted the tweet and didn’t post anything further.
On Sunday morning, Trump administration officials condemned Moran and said the post reflected poorly on ABC News as an institution. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt publicly pushed ABC to discipline Moran.
“We have reached out to ABC to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable,” she wrote on X.
“Hopefully this journalist will either be suspended or terminated,” Leavitt said in an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures” on Fox News.
As for ABC, “they have said they will be taking action,” she added, apparently referring to a private conversation.
About one hour later, the news division said Moran, its senior national correspondent and former “Nightline” anchor, had been suspended.
“ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others,” a spokesperson said in response to CNN’s inquiry about Moran. “The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation.”
They claim they stand for objectivity and impartiality, but we all know that’s a bunch of malarkey. ABC News is filled with journalists and producers who are biased against Republicans, as we’ve seen a million times, and they only suspended Terry Moron because he let the bias slip out in a more blunt and obvious way.
