ABC News correspondent Terry Moran has been suspended after referring to Trump administration deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as a “world class hater” in a now-deleted social media post. The post sparked backlash from Republican officials, including Vice President J.D. Vance, who condemned Moran’s comments. ABC News emphasized its commitment to objectivity and impartiality in news coverage and stated that it does not support personal attacks. Moran’s suspension is pending further evaluation.
In his post, Moran also criticized President Donald Trump, stating that Trump’s hatred is a means to glorify himself. He described Miller as someone who feeds on his own hatred. Vance criticized Moran’s post as being filled with hatred and urged viewers to consider this when watching ABC’s coverage of the Trump administration.
Miller responded to Moran’s post by accusing him of having a “full public meltdown” and exposing the bias within the corporate press. Miller suggested that journalists like Moran have long posed as objective reporters while holding radical views. Moran’s controversial comments have ignited a debate about journalistic integrity and the role of personal opinions in news reporting.
