ABC Suspends Reporter Terry Moran After Criticism of Trump Adviser Sparks White House Backlash

ABC News has suspended senior correspondent Terry Moran after he posted and then deleted social media comments calling Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Donald Trump "world-class haters." Moran criticized Miller as driven by hatred rather than intellect and described Trump's animosity as a means to his own glorification. The White House, including Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Vice President JD Vance, condemned Moran's remarks as "unhinged," "unacceptable," and "dripping with hatred," demanding accountability from ABC News. Leavitt emphasized the expectation of unbiased journalism from Moran and highlighted growing distrust in legacy media. Miller responded by accusing the press of radical bias and claimed Moran revealed the true nature of corporate journalism. ABC News stated that Moran's posts violated their standards and the suspension is pending further evaluation.
