ABC News Ends Terry Moran Contract Over Anti-Trump Social Post

ABC News has decided not to renew the contract of veteran correspondent Terry Moran following a social media post in which he called President Donald Trump and senior White House aide Stephen Miller “world-class” haters, a move the network deemed a clear violation of its policies. Moran's post, published on X, described Miller as someone who derives “spiritual nourishment” from hatred and characterized Trump’s hatred as a means to his own glorification. The network suspended Moran shortly after the post, citing its standards for objectivity, fairness, and professionalism. His firing sparked mixed reactions, with conservatives and Trump officials calling for accountability, while some on the left criticized ABC for limiting Moran's freedom of speech. The decision to cut ties with Moran comes amidst increasing pressure from the Trump administration on news organizations, including calls to the Federal Communications Commission to scrutinize ABC News. ABC emphasized its commitment to impartial journalism despite the backlash and recent legal settlements involving Trump.
