Well, well, well—another day, another mask ripped clean off the smug face of “objective journalism.” ABC News has officially suspended senior correspondent Terry Moran after he let loose on X (formerly Twitter), calling Stephen Miller and Donald Trump “world-class haters” in a post so drenched in bile it made Keith Olbermann look subtle. The tweet got deleted—of course—but not before screenshots lit up conservative circles like a Fourth of July sparkler. Now ABC is scrambling to pretend it has standards. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t.
Moran’s Meltdown in His Own Words
Let’s recap the meltdown. Moran wrote that Stephen Miller wasn’t known for brains but for “bile,” describing him as “richly endowed with the capacity for hatred” and someone who “eats his hate.” He went on to say Trump was also a world-class hater, but only because it fuels his “own glorification.” This wasn’t analysis—it was a tantrum. And it came just hours after the third straight night of violent riots in Los Angeles, where Trump had just deployed the National Guard to restore order. The timing? Not subtle.
ABC Plays Damage Control—Too Little, Too Late
After backlash from all sides, including the White House and a furious online conservative base, ABC News issued a very corporate statement saying Moran had “violated our standards” and was being suspended pending further evaluation. Now they want you to believe they care about “objectivity.” Please. ABC calling itself neutral is like Hunter Biden calling himself sober—technically possible, but hard to swallow. This isn’t the first time ABC has had to clean up after its own, either. Just last year they paid $15 million to settle a defamation suit with Trump over a George Stephanopoulos interview. At this point, “We stand for impartiality” is the most laughable line in their brand guide.
The White House Fires Back—And Rightly So
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt jumped into the fray, calling the post “unhinged and unacceptable,” and demanded ABC explain how they’d hold Moran accountable. Vice President J.D. Vance called Moran’s rant “a vile smear dripping with hatred,” and said it proves why Americans can’t trust ABC’s Trump coverage. And Stephen Miller himself? He summed it up best: “Terry pulled off his mask.” That’s the point. This wasn’t just a reporter having a moment. It was a veteran journalist admitting what so many of us already knew—these people don’t report on Trump. They despise him. And they despise you, too.
Journalists or Activists? Pick One
Let’s be honest: Terry Moran didn’t get caught in a gotcha moment. He gave a confession. He said the quiet part out loud. For years, people like him have lectured the rest of us from their media ivory towers, pretending they’re just telling the truth while pushing narratives straight from the DNC playbook. The only thing more dangerous than dishonest journalism is dishonest journalism wrapped in fake neutrality. And Moran wrapped his hatred in both. His post didn’t just attack two public figures—it confirmed decades of conservative skepticism about the press.
The Real “Hate” Is Coming from Inside the Newsroom
The irony here is almost too perfect. While cities burn from “peaceful protests,” and while the Left defends lawlessness in the name of equity, the same media talking heads accuse Trump and his team of being the real threat to democracy. This is what projection looks like. Moran accused others of feeding on hate—but the bile in his tweet says otherwise. If you want to know what fuels the corporate press, just read Moran’s late-night poetry slam. He wasn’t giving policy commentary. He was lashing out because he’s losing control of the narrative—and he knows it.
What Happens Next?
Will ABC quietly reinstate Moran after a week of “reflection”? Probably. Will the rest of the media rally around him, pretending this is a free speech issue? Almost certainly. But make no mistake—this moment matters. Every time a media figure exposes their disdain for half the country, it pushes more Americans out of the mainstream media bubble and into platforms like ours. The more they rant, the more they reveal. And that’s why we’ll keep watching. Keep calling it out. And keep fighting back.
