ABC News announced late yesterday that long time senior correspondent Terry Moran's contract would not be renewed when it expires Friday, claiming Moran violated company policy when he said on social media that the Malignant Fascist and his deranged White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller were "world-class haters." (ABC recently settled a very winnable $16 million suit by the Malignant Fascist over George Stephanopoulos' noting that the MF had been adjudicated liable for "rape" by a New York court, the word used by its Judge Lewis Kaplan.) From NPR:
"Moran had been a foreign correspondent, chief White House correspondent and anchor of Nightline over his nearly three decades at ABC News. At one time, he was considered by executives as a potential evening news anchor in the mold of the late Peter Jennings.
Just six weeks ago, Moran had interviewed Trump, earning acclaim from many of his peers for gently pressing the president over his false claims about a man deported by the administration to El Salvador. Trump, irritated, told Moran in the middle of the exchange that he had 'never heard of you.'
'You're not being very nice,' Trump said, suggesting Moran should not push back given the 'big break' he had been given in getting the sit-down interview."
You need only to listen to the over-the-top bigoted spewings of the soulless, dead eyed Miller and his cult leader to agree with Moran's assessment. With his contract due to expire, Moran likely decided to use that interview and his social media posting as a parting shot at the felon in the White House and his vicious staff.
ABC bent the knee once again to a demagogue who is emboldened by such acts of cowardice, whether it's by prestige law firms or companies with business with the Federal Government. We need more journalists like Moran and Scott Pelley of CBS to speak truth to power especially in this perilous time for democracy. Shame on ABC.
