Terry Moran Suspended by ABC News Over Social Media Post
Terry Moran has been suspended from ABC News following social media posts critical of President Donald Trump and a key member of his administration. On Sunday morning, Moran posted a lengthy, since-deleted message on X, formerly Twitter, in which he referred to both the president and White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as a 'world-class hater.' In a statement provided to TVNewser, an ABC News spokesperson said: "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-as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation." In his post, Moran said that Miller is driven by a 'capacity for hatred.' 'You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatred are his spiritual nourishment,' Moran added. 'He eats his hate." Speaking of Trump, Moran said that the president's hatred is 'only a means to an end,' that end being 'his own glorification.' After Moran's post, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted her own social media statement, saying: 'We have reached out to ABC to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable.' Leavitt also made an appearance on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, where she remarked: 'Hopefully this journalist will be either suspended or terminated.' Moran's suspension comes on the heels of his exclusive interview with Trump in the Oval Office, which aired as a primetime special on Tuesday, April 29, marking the conclusion of the president's first 100 days. Moran is ABC News' senior national correspondent based in the network's Washington, D.C., bureau. He has been with the network since 1997 and has also served as ABC News' chief foreign correspondent, co-anchor of the ABC News show Nightline, and chief White House correspondent. In late 2024, ABC News settled a defamation suit with the then-President-elect Trump for $15 million involving anchor George Stephanopoulos. The network faced a storm of criticism after the settlement was announced.

Terry Moran suspended by ABC for Trump post about Stephen Miller
"ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others," the spokesperson said. "The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards - as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation." Who is Stephen Miller? President Trump's deputy chief of staff is the architect of his mass deportation plans According to screenshots shared on X, Moran wrote of Miller in his since-deleted post on June 8, "He's a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate." The ABC journalist contrasted this with Trump, writing that the president is also a "world-class hater," but "his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his (sic) own glorification. That's his spiritual nourishment." Moran's post drew sharp criticism from the White House, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt writing on X that the post was "unhinged and unacceptable." She added that the White House had reached out to ABC "to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable." Trump's 100-day interview: The president sits down with ABC Vice President JD Vance also slammed the "absolutely vile smear" of Miller. "It's dripping with hatred," Vance wrote on X. "Remember that every time you watch ABC's coverage of the Trump administration." "As it happens, I know Stephen quite well," Vance added. "And he's motivated by love of country. He's motivated by a fear that people like Terry Moran make rules that normal Americans have to follow, but well connected people don't." Vance also said that ABC should apologize to Miller for the "disgraceful" post. Moran, 65, who joined ABC News in 1997, was previously co-anchor of "Nightline" and has covered eight presidential campaign cycles, according to ABC News. In April, Trump sat down with Moran for an interview about his first 100 days in office.

Terry Moran, a respected American television journalist and senior national correspondent for ABC News, is widely known for his sharp reporting and coverage of major global events. However, his distinguished career has recently hit turbulence following a late-night social media tirade targeting top White House adviser Stephen Miller and former President Donald Trump. The controversial posts have led to Moran's suspension from ABC News. Also Read: Can Pete Hegseth deploy Marines amid LA riots? The Posse Comitatus Act explained After completing his education, Moran began his journalism career in the mid-1980s as a reporter for WLBZ in Bangor, Maine. His talent and dedication quickly propelled him to larger markets, and by 1997, he had joined the national ranks at ABC News. Moran has a small family, which he has built with his wife Dina. The couple shares two children from their marriage and has remained private about their family, raising their kids away from the public eye. Moran has often credited his family as a grounding force amid the pressures of journalism. In past interviews, he's spoken about the importance of his personal life, highlighting how the support and stability of his loved ones help him maintain balance in a demanding, high-profile career. Despite his nature of work, which is extensively documented, he has managed to keep his children's information out of the limelight.

However, the recent suspension from ABC News is likely to hit a snag in his professional life. Over the years, Moran has built his wealth primarily through his long-standing career at ABC News, serving in key roles such as anchor, correspondent, and co-anchor on programs like Nightline. Beyond journalism, he has also invested in real estate, owning multiple properties across the country, which have contributed to his overall financial portfolio.

How a Rim Job Helped Me Realize I'm Trans
I was a 19-year-old gay man and I needed to get previous summer, I'd had the best sex ever: fumbling, sweaty, with a repressed Christian in a humid minivan. He'd clawed off my damp top and I'd breathlessly moaned, 'Suck on my tits.' We shared only a millisecond of confusion (I had no tits to suck) before the momentum of our lust propelled his mouth to my nipples. Initially, I chalked it up to nonsensical babbling in the throes of pleasure, but something about it felt right. Unfortunately, I'd had only a few opportunities to further explore my newfound love of sexual feminization since then, calling my asshole a 'pussy' and my dick a 'clitty' when chatting on Grindr. Enter that lifeline for rural sluts everywhere: Man on Business Trip. According to his Grindr profile, Jackson* was 6'3", with shoulders as wide as a fridge and arms like swollen hams. With his towering stature and warm complexion plus an incandescent smile and a bald head, he resembled The Rock. My heart pounded as my headlights illuminated the cheap lodge where he was staying. I followed his directions to a side entrance where he met me at the door looking, miraculously, even better than his pics. His dark eyes shone with kindness and his baritone chuckle reverberated through my rib cage as he described his profession and the presentations he had scheduled for tomorrow. He turned to guide me to his room, his T-shirt stretched taut like a canvas across the vast expanse of his back. The blood pounding through my ears nearly drowned out his voice as he opened the door to his room. 'My job always tries to put me up in ritzy hotels,' he explained. 'But I prefer these mom-and-pop places outta downtown. Better food out this way anyway.' He waved me inside with one of his gargantuan paws as we performed that cordial ice-breaker conversation that precedes all hookups, particularly those between internet strangers. Meanwhile, I silently celebrated securing a rendezvous with a man so convivial and also physically massive, so visibly strong. I'd always gravitated toward men who looked like they could break me in half before grinding my bones for bread. Their mass made me feel small, dainty, and safe—yet somehow, it also frightened me. So even as I casually commented on the room—with its peach walls and glass-block window, its smell of soap and dried flowers—I made mental note of any blunt objects I could use to defend myself if shit went down (as if I were some kind of twinkish John Wick?). And even as I smilingly accepted his invitation to lie side by side on the bed, Juju Chang's steady newscaster narration rang through my head: Tonight on Nightline: 'Grindr Gone Wrong'—a sadistic traveling killer and the stupid horny teen who went to his hotel. 'God, you're cute,' Jackson said in that deep voice. I smirked. 'You too.' Then we leaned together and kissed. Potential psycho killer be damned. The softness of his lips and tongue clashed with his daunting stature—an arousing dichotomy. We rose from the bed, making out as we undressed. Dichotomy again: my slim, pale, hairy torso pressed against his smooth, bronze, beefy body. With one of his dining-plate-sized hands, he cupped my cheek and I moaned into his kiss. In one fell swoop, he picked me up and cartwheeled me in his arms so that his hard cock grazed my eager lips. I gasped as he began sucking my dick, his low groans of delight vibrating through me from root to crown as I began swirling my tongue around his pink head. A few minutes later, he laid me down on the coarse floral bedspread and folded my legs to my chest, propping my ass up with a pillow so he could admire my tight little rosebud. He licked his lips like a cartoon character before diving into the feast. A whimper escaped me as he began devouring my asshole with a methodical insistence typically reserved for dogs trying to get peanut butter out of a chew toy, my heart rate increasing every time that soft tongue pushed into me. He gently grazed his teeth across my ass cheeks and I shivered, biting my lip. My whimpers only increased, rising in pitch as he sucked on that bit of flesh where my hole met my taint. This was peak. 'Just like that,' I sighed. 'Eat my pussy, Daddy.' He growled and sucked more fervently. My neck arched back and I cried out—not only from waves of novel pleasure but also from waves of gender euphoria as I saw myself: flat-chested and hairy, yes, but long-haired and somehow also feminine, enjoying a sexual position most commonly enjoyed by women receiving cunnilingus. This hookup is anchored in my memory like an eye in a storm of dysphoria. It was the first time that I wondered—however fleetingly—if feminization wasn't just an enjoyable sexual practice but maybe an intrinsic part of myself. Great sex can discombobulate you so thoroughly that you momentarily forget the performance of the self so many of us are usually putting on—in life and in bed. It can strip you down to your raw, authentic core. So we cry out, 'Oh, Josh!' when we were supposed to say 'Gabriel.' So we mumble, 'Suck on my tits,' when otherwise we'd have said, 'Suck my nipples.' And as we reach between our legs with trembling hands to caress the smooth head of the man eating our ass, we briefly think, This dude should be eating my vagina. I didn't ejaculate in a masculine, staccato burst. Instead, I experienced one of the most intense orgasms of my life—wave after wave after wave, legs shaking in the air as Jackson's insistent tongue pushed me over the edge. I was so overwhelmed that I finally had to set my soles onto his shoulders and push him away to give myself a break. Now, years later, as my bottom surgery awaits just months away, I fantasize about finding a guy as orally talented as Jackson to feast on my new pussy—the way it should be. *Name has been changed.
