ABC’s Terry Moran was fired on Tuesday after initially being suspended over an X post attacking President Trump and White House Advisor Stephen Miller.
Over the weekend, in an X post that shocked his colleagues, Terry Moran called President Trump and Stephen Miller “world-class haters.”
Moran quickly deleted the X post (screenshot below) after blowback.
On Tuesday, ABC News fired Terry Moran for bashing Trump and Stephen Miller.
According to CNN, Terry Moran’s was at the end of a contract cycle so the network decided it would be easiest to fire him now.
CNN reported:
ABC News is parting ways with veteran correspondent Terry Moran, two days after he posted a missive on X calling President Donald Trump and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller “world-class haters.”
ABC said Tuesday afternoon that Moran’s contract was about to expire, and “based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew.”
“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,” an ABC News spokesperson said.
Prominent television correspondents like Moran, who interviewed Trump in the Oval Office just six weeks ago, typically have multi-year contracts with their employers.
The fact that Moran was at the end of a contract cycle — his deal was set to expire on Friday, according to a person briefed on the matter — made it easier for ABC to take swift action.
