Former ABC News reporter Terry Moran on Thursday said network news and legacy media companies are “failing the American people,” bowing to “corporate pressure” amid President Donald Trump’s second term.
“They have kind of rules of what they can say and what they can’t say, what they can describe and what they can’t describe. The facts in front of them are eluding their coverage and I think that they are disserving the American people,” said Moran on an episode of the “In Good Faith with Philip DeFranco” podcast.
Moran — whose “world-class haters” post on Trump and senior White House aide Stephen Miller led to his ABC News ouster in June — argued that there’s “frustration” among those in network news and, despite changes in tone during segments, correspondents aren’t saying “the words of what’s happening.”
“That’s corporate pressure,” he stressed.
Following his exit from ABC News, Moran has launched a SubStack newsletter and gone on to defend his “accurate, fair and true description” of Miller, emphasizing that “cruelty is the point” with him.
