Veteran ABC News correspondent Terry Moran has been terminated following a controversial social media post in which he criticized President Donald Trump and his adviser Stephen Miller. In the now-deleted post, Moran referred to both men as “world-class haters,” accusing Miller of “eating his hate” and suggesting that Trump’s hatred serves his self-glorification. The post, shared on the platform X (formerly Twitter), violated ABC News’ policies on objectivity and professionalism, leading to his suspension and subsequent dismissal.
Moran, who joined ABC News in 1997, had recently conducted a tense interview with President Trump in the Oval Office. The interview had drawn attention for its direct questioning and the president’s responses. The network emphasized its commitment to impartial journalism and stated that Moran’s views did not reflect those of ABC News.
The incident has sparked a broader debate about the balance between journalistic objectivity and personal expression, especially on social media platforms. While some defend Moran’s right to free speech, others argue that such public statements can undermine the credibility of news organizations.
This development underscores the challenges faced by journalists in maintaining professional standards while engaging in personal expression, particularly in the age of social media. It also highlights the scrutiny that media organizations face in ensuring their personnel adhere to established ethical guidelines.
