Well, well, well—Terry Moran finally did what most of America already assumed was happening behind the scenes at ABC News: he said the quiet part out loud. And boy, did it get him canned.
After years of feigning objectivity while peddling progressive narratives dressed up as journalism, Moran took to X (formerly Twitter, for those still pretending not to miss the bird logo) and let his real feelings fly. His target? Stephen Miller, a White House aide under President Trump and frequent lightning rod for the left’s moral panic. Moran didn’t just express concern or disagreement. No, he went full scorched-earth, calling Miller a “world-class hater” and describing him as brimming with “bile.”
Let’s pause for a moment to appreciate the irony. Here’s a guy who was ABC News’ senior national correspondent—a title that supposedly implies professionalism, maturity, and the ability to string together a report without hurling personal insults at government officials. But instead of playing it straight, Moran treated his feed like an unmoderated Reddit thread, and now he’s out of a job. Classic.
ABC News, for its part, was quick to distance itself. “We hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness, and professionalism,” they said in their statement, managing to keep a straight face despite years of prime-time spin, selective outrage, and “anonymous sources say” narratives. You almost have to admire their commitment to the bit.

But this wasn’t just an oopsie from a rogue reporter. This was a mask-slip. Terry didn’t break character—he showed the character behind the mask. And in doing so, he confirmed exactly what conservatives have been saying for decades: the media isn’t biased toward the left, it is the left. Moran’s post was less a journalistic mistake and more of a confession. Stephen Miller, for all his policy toughness, has been painted by the left as the bogeyman of immigration and nationalism. So, of course, the elite media hates him—it’s just that usually, they hide it behind a somber news anchor tone and a teleprompter full of euphemisms.
Naturally, the Trump administration didn’t let this one slide. Vice President JD Vance wasted no time reminding viewers that if this is how the media talks off camera, maybe—just maybe—their coverage on camera isn’t exactly a masterclass in impartiality. And Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, went straight to ABC demanding accountability. And lo and behold, ABC acted like it was shocked—shocked!—to find this kind of behavior coming from one of their own. Cue the Casablanca memes.
Stephen Miller himself said it best: “Terry pulled off his mask.” It’s not just about a bad tweet. It’s about the culture that dominates establishment journalism—where progressive ideology isn’t a bias, it’s a default setting. Moran didn’t forget the rules of journalism; he just finally got tired of pretending to follow them.
🚨 | BREAKING: ABC just TERMINATED Terry Moran after his deranged meltdown targeting Trump advisor Stephen Miller.
What was supposed to be “journalism” turned into a emotional breakdown over a man who writes policy.
Suspended. Now gone. FAFO in real time.

So now Terry Moran joins the long, undistinguished line of corporate media figures who pushed their luck too far. The difference? He didn’t get taken down by a scandal or some exposé. He got taken down by his own mouth—or rather, his itchy fingers on a keyboard. Maybe it was cathartic for him. Maybe he thought he was being brave. But here in the real world, where people expect journalists to at least pretend to be fair, this was just one more example of the press proving critics right.
ABC may have let him go, but the damage is done. You don’t erase decades of credibility rot with a neatly worded press release. And for those watching at home? Let this be a reminder: when you tune into the legacy media, you’re not getting the news—you’re getting their truth. And sometimes, that truth leaks out in 280 characters or less.
