ABC News Ends Correspondent Terry Moran Contract Over Critical Trump Aide Post

ABC News has decided not to renew the contract of correspondent Terry Moran after he posted a controversial message on the social media platform X accusing President Donald Trump and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller of being 'world-class haters.' Moran's post, which he later deleted, was deemed a clear violation of ABC News policies, prompting his suspension and eventual departure from the network. Moran, who recently interviewed President Trump, criticized Miller’s hatred as his 'spiritual nourishment' and described Trump's hatred as a means to his own glorification. The Trump administration, including Vice President JD Vance, condemned Moran's comments. ABC News emphasized its commitment to objectivity, fairness, and professionalism in journalism, underscoring that Moran's remarks breached these standards. Despite the backlash, some commentators suggest Moran’s departure reflects the ongoing tensions between media outlets and the Trump administration, with Moran expected to find future opportunities elsewhere.
