The credibility of legacy media took another major hit this week after ABC News suspended senior correspondent Terry Moran over a venomous online tirade directed at President Donald Trump and one of his closest advisers.
The post, which quickly drew fierce condemnation from the White House, accused both Trump and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller of being “world-class” haters. It has since been deleted.
The White House didn’t waste anytime hitting back. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denounced the comments as “unacceptable and unhinged,” accusing the corporate media of harboring deep political bias.
“This is unacceptable and unhinged rhetoric coming from someone who works at a major television network,” Leavitt said Sunday during an appearance on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“We have reached out to ABC. They have said they will be taking action, so we will see what they do.”
ABC confirmed later that day that Moran had been suspended.
In a statement to Fox News, a spokesperson for the network 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.”
