Bill Maher slams former ABC reporter Terry Moran for not being ‘impartial’

ABC reporter Terry Moran was recently let go from the network after he posted a rant against President Donald Trump and White House adviser Stephen Miller on social media.

According to Fox News, liberal comedian and host Bill Maher slammed Moran for posting the rant, which ultimately led to the loss of his job, arguing that Moran was a journalist, and should have remained impartial, no matter his personal feelings.

Maher, who often bucks Democratic Party talking points, and opts to tell the hard truth instead, ticked off plenty on the left over his criticism of Moran’s post.

The leftist comedian made his criticism of Moran known during the “Overtime” segment of his hit show.

What did he say?

For someone supposedly in the impartial news business, Moran deviated quite far from that playbook in his post targeting Trump and Miller.

Fox News noted:

Moran posted on social media that Trump and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller were “world-class” haters on June 8, and then deleted the post. ABC News first announced they were suspending Moran but then ultimately parted ways with him.

As is typical for Maher, the host held nothing back when leveling criticism against Moran for straying from the journalistic reservation and letting his personal political feelings get the best of him — and his employment.

“This guy’s a reporter, what the f—?” Maher said, with guest, Ian Bremmer, adding that there are “lots of jobs” in which someone like Moran could post what he posted, saying “journalism is not one of them.”

Maher agreed, saying “Lots of jobs you can have and do that, that is the one job I’m looking at you to be impartial, just give me the facts, I don’t need to know this from you, Terry Moran.”

At least one ABC News staffer agreed that it was a dumb decision on Moran’s part, telling Fox News Digital, “People love Terry here, I want to be clear, nobody thinks Terry is a bad person, but this was a very, very stupid thing to do in a time where all of our credibility is on the line.”

Social media reacts

Users across social media had plenty to say about Moran’s departure from the network.
