ABC News has fired long-time senior correspondent Terry Moran following a controversial social media rant targeting former Trump adviser Stephen Miller. In a series of posts, Moran criticized Miller’s ideology and accused President Trump of spreading hatred for political gain—comments publicly denounced by the White House.
The network acted swiftly, citing violations of its journalistic standards and emphasis on neutrality. Moran’s posts, which were deleted after drawing widespread attention, prompted complaints from political officials and stirred internal debate over impartial reporting.
ABC News underscored its commitment to nonpartisan journalism in announcing the termination. The move marks one of the most high-profile firings related to personal conduct on social media by a prominent news figure.
The incident has reignited discussions on the ethical boundaries for journalists, particularly regarding personal opinions shared on public platforms, and the implications of personal political expression on news reporting credibility.
