Terry Moran Departs ABC After Social Media Attack On Stephen Miller and the “Trumpist Movement”

In a video posted on X, Moran announced he’s taking his commentary to Substack, marking a clear shift from legacy journalism to personal punditry.

It didn’t take long.

Just days after ABC News suspended Terry Moran for calling Trump White House official Stephen Miller a “world-class loser,” the longtime correspondent has officially left the network.

In a video posted on X, Moran announced he’s taking his commentary to Substack, marking a clear shift from legacy journalism to personal punditry.

“Hello, everyone. I’m Terry Moran, and for almost twenty-eight years, I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News. And as you may have heard, I’m not there anymore. I’m here with you on Substack, this amazing space, and I can’t wait to get at it—to get at the important work that we all have to do in this time of such trouble for our country. I’m going to be reporting and interviewing, and just sharing with you, and hoping to hear from you as well. So it’ll be a few days, maybe a little bit longer. Gotta get some stuff sorted out, but can’t wait to see you. Thanks.”

Oh, we heard, and we won’t miss you on air.

The NBC News report confirms that Moran is “no longer employed” by ABC News. The network quietly updated its statement following his on-air absence and mounting criticism over the tweet.

“We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post — which was a clear violation of ABC News policies — we have made the decision to not renew,” a spokesperson for the network said in a statement.

“At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism,” the spokesperson said.

As we previously reported, Moran’s now-deleted insult wasn’t just a stray remark, but a part of a long-running trend of media hostility toward Trump and his officials. And instead of expressing any remorse, Moran is using the controversy to launch his next act.

If anything, his move to Substack confirms what many Americans have suspected for years: the media class isn’t neutral, and some don’t even pretend to be anymore.
