Who is Terry Moran whose 'world-class' haters X post on Trump's close aide gets him suspended from ABC News
ABC News suspends veteran journalist Terry Moran over Trump, Miller comments Terry Moran, ABC News' senior national correspondent and Washington-based anchor for ABC News Live, has been suspended by the network following a now-deleted social media post criticizing President Donald Trump and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller . In the post, Moran referred to both Trump and Miller as 'world-class' haters and claimed that Miller was 'richly endowed with the capacity for hatred,' adding that Miller's ideological drive was 'not brains. It's bile.' The post also suggested that Trump's hatred served his pursuit of self-glorification. Also read: Watch: In Zelenskyy-type clash, Trump calls journalist's question 'stupid' while backing Hegseth, says 'that's why no one trusts news' ABC News confirmed Moran's suspension pending further evaluation, stating: 'ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others. The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards.' In an April Oval Office interview, the President grew irritable and repeatedly launched personal attacks on the interviewer, as seen in a one-on-one conversation. This incident follows prior exchanges where the President became agitated and engaged in similar behavior during questioning. Live Events His recent coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign marked the eighth election cycle he has reported on. Who is Terry Moran? a career in law, politics, and foreign conflict Terry Moran is one of ABC News' most seasoned journalists, known for his legal expertise, international reporting, and presidential campaign coverage. He currently anchors (before suspension) ABC News Live from Washington, D.C., and leads the network's coverage of the US Supreme Court. Moran joined ABC News in 1997 after a decade at Court TV, where he became nationally recognized for his in-depth legal reporting, including coverage of the O.J. Simpson and Menendez brothers trials. From 1998 to 1999, he served as ABC's primary correspondent at the US Supreme Court, reporting on key legal decisions and high-profile trials. Also read: Stephen Miller reportedly melts down as Elon Musk blasts Donald Trump and storms out with his wife in tow Between 2005 and 2013, Moran co-anchored Nightline , where he led domestic and international reporting, including major coverage of Hurricane Katrina, the Virginia Tech shooting, and US immigration rallies. From 2013 to 2018, he served as ABC's chief foreign correspondent, based in London. He covered major events such as the war in Syria, the European migration crisis, and Pope Francis's global travels. Throughout his career, Moran has interviewed nine US presidents and political leaders, including exclusive sit-downs with Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, and John McCain. His international reporting spans from Guantanamo Bay to Ciudad Juarez and from the Balkans to Nepal. He is the recipient of the Peabody Award, an Emmy® Award, and the Merriman Smith Award for excellence in presidential reporting. In personal stories, Moran has also covered topics such as Alzheimer's disease, undergoing genetic testing himself, and exposed drug violence and law enforcement corruption in Mexico. He remains a widely published writer, with contributions to The New York Times , The Washington Post , and The New Republic . Also read: After Trump and Bannon, Musk's friendship with Stephen Miller turns nasty as the Tesla CEO walks away with his wife Political reaction and broader media implications Stephen Miller responded to Moran's comments with a broader critique of the media, stating that the post revealed the 'radical' tendencies of mainstream journalists. 'Terry pulled off his mask,' Miller said. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called Moran's remarks 'unacceptable and unhinged' during an appearance on Fox News. Vice President JD Vance also weighed in, calling the post a 'vile smear.' The suspension follows ABC News' recent $15 million legal settlement with a Trump-affiliated organization over comments made by anchor George Stephanopoulos. That lawsuit stemmed from Stephanopoulos' assertion that Trump had been found 'liable for rape,' a claim not supported by the outcome of the E. Jean Carroll defamation case. These incidents have fueled criticism from conservative commentators who argue that major networks are biased against Republican figures and lack journalistic neutrality. ABC News reiterated its position in a statement, saying it 'does not condone subjective personal attacks' and remains committed to objective reporting. As of now, ABC News has not announced further disciplinary action against Moran, and the timeline for a decision on his employment remains unclear.
