ABC News' Terry Moran's history of attacking Trump dates back to first term in 2017
Before ABC News correspondent Terry Moran was suspended for a now-deleted social media post attacking President Donald Trump and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, he had a lengthy history of slamming the president on air. "Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world-class hater," Moran wrote in a now-deleted X post on Sunday. "You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate." "Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only [sic] a means to an end, and that end his[sic] his own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment," Moran continued. This was only the latest example of Moran blasting Trump since his first term in 2017. More recently, Moran garnered attention from his fiery interview in April with Trump to mark his first 100 days in office. Moran repeatedly argued and pushed back on the president on several topics, including Trump's tariffs and immigration. This led to Trump calling out Moran in the middle of the interview. "They're giving you the big break of a lifetime," Trump told Moran. "You're doing the interview, I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that's okay. I picked you, Terry, but you're not being very nice." In 2021, Moran went as far as to refer to Trump as a "Führer" in the Republican Party. "[Trump] has the Republican Party as a personalized power like we haven't seen," he said. "It's a caudillo, it's a Caesar, it's a Führer. We don't see that in this country. We do now." Moran also invoked Nazi-adjacent comparisons when describing Trump after his first inaugural speech in January 2017. "[I]t carries with it overtones from the 1930s when an anti-Semitic movement saying, 'We don't want to get involved in Europe's war. It's the Jews' fault in Germany!' Charles Lindbergh led them. It is a term, as he defined it his way, but the words carry ugly echoes in our history," Moran said. In 2018, Moran appeared to joke about the idea of Trump's funeral during coverage of former President George H.W. Bush's funeral proceedings. "First, he's going to choreograph it. So, there might be more trumpets and fanfare... It will be the best presidential funeral ever. No one will ever have seen anything like that funeral," Moran said. In a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday, an ABC spokesperson said, "ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others. The [X] post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation." ABC News itself came under fire for alleged political bias last August after Dana Walden, a senior Disney executive whose portfolio includes ABC News, was scrutinized by the New York Times for her decades-long friendship with then-Vice President Kamala Harris. The report came just one month before Harris' first and only debate with Trump in September.

Eagle's Nest memorial: Hitler's former holiday home renovated
The Kehlsteinhaus on Obersalzberg, once a retreat for Adolf Hitler and other Nazi leaders, has been a mountain restaurant with a stunning view and a memorial since 1952. Hundreds of thousands of people visit the site, known as the Eagle's Nest in English, in the Bavarian Berchtesgaden Alps every year. The site was expanded during Adolf Hitler's rule of terror between 1933 and 1945 to become the second seat of the Nazi government, according to the tourism association in Obersalzberg. New lift motor after 50 years Visitors can reach the site either via a hiking trail or through a tunnel, followed by a lift that was inaugurated alongside the house in 1938. This lift has now been fitted with a new motor, approximately 50 years after its last engine replacement, according to the Berchtesgaden Tourism Association. The new motor cost approximately €500,000 ($562,000), replacing the previous one from 1973. The lift cabin weighs around 4.4 tons and can carry up to 46 people over the 124-metre distance from the tunnel to the house. It retains its original features, including Venetian mirrors, polished brass panels, green leather upholstery, a mechanical clock and a Bakelite telephone. The house, located just below the Kehlstein summit, was part of the Führer's former restricted area on the Obersalzberg. Situated at an altitude of 1,834 metres, it can be reached via several hours of hiking or from the Obersalzberg car park via the Kehlstein Road. Cars are prohibited from driving on the road, which features steep gradients and several tunnels. Only special buses from the Kehlstein line are allowed. Exhibition explains the site's Nazi history An exhibition in the Kehlsteinhaus showcases the site's history. The residence was was intended to serve as a political representation site away from the public eye, but was reportedly used far more often by the Nazi entourage for recreation and private celebrations. For those wishing to delve deeper into the subject, the tourism association recommends visiting the Obersalzberg Documentation Centre, which features an interactive permanent exhibition "Idyll and Atrocity." This exhibition, like the one in the Kehlsteinhaus, was designed by Germany's Institute of Contemporary History and provides in-depth insights into the history of Obersalzberg. It is advisable to purchase tickets online in advance. From the Kehlstein car park, visitors can either walk or take the lift for the final stretch to the house. The lift ride is included in the bus ticket price, and entry to the Kehlsteinhaus itself is free. The road and the house are closed from late October to early May.
