ABC drops reporter Terry Moran after enraged attack on Trump official

ABC News has confirmed a decision not to renew the contract of now ex-Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran after he launched an enraged rant against an official in the Trump administration.

BREAKING: Terry Moran is out at ABC News. “We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew,” an ABC spokesperson says.

Moran had been suspended over the weekend when his diatribe appeared.

Moran claimed, “The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. 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. You can see this just by looking at him.”

The most important fact about Terry’s full public meltdown is what it shows about the corporate press in America. For decades, the privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist’s pose. Terry pulled off his mask.

Miller responded with a charge that “Terry pulled off his mask” to reveal, in his meltdown, “the corporate press in America.”

It was the Washington Examiner that said ABC “reportedly announced” it will not renew.

ABC said, “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.”
