Media bias revealed once more as ABC suspends Terry Moran for comments about the Trump team

Recently, ABC News placed senior national correspondent Terry Moran on hiatus following his candid remarks, which many interpreted as excessively critical. Moran, like many at ABC News, has shown a strong disdain for certain political figures, which he didn’t hesitate to express. On June 8, his comments about Stephen Miller, a Trump advisor, were particularly striking; he labeled Miller as a “world-class hate” and directed similar sentiments at Trump himself.

He emphasized that Miller, the deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security, possesses an “extraordinary capacity to hate.” It’s evident that for a considerable time, Moran has tried to maintain a facade of impartiality, but it’s becoming harder to ignore his bias.

The incident has sparked a reaction from the White House, which, understandably, asserted its right to voice concerns. It’s a bit ironic—given the supposed ethical standards in journalism—that Moran’s comments drew ire. Interestingly, while there’s an ethical code in journalism, adherence to it isn’t mandated. In light of this, Moran’s remarks seem to have flouted the very principles the profession claims to uphold.

Bias has been a recurring theme in Moran’s career. He made headlines with inflammatory remarks during Obama’s presidency and has not held back when discussing Trump. In fact, he claimed that “women die” in the wake of Roe vs. Wade being overturned, contributing to a narrative that’s arguably loud and clear.

In a statement following the backlash, ABC News asserted its commitment to objectivity, claiming that Moran’s post does not align with the network’s standards. However, many are skeptical about the authenticity of such a statement, given Moran’s history.

This is the same network that brought George Stephanopoulos, formerly of the Clinton administration, into its fold, posing as an impartial journalist. The network’s debate moderators have also leaned noticeably against Trump in past interactions, making it harder to judge their neutrality.

Moreover, the show “The View” has consistently showcased a strong anti-Trump sentiment. Its hosts have frequently disparaged America and have been critical of various political dynamics, with no representation for conservative viewpoints noted since Trump’s presidency began.

Ultimately, Moran’s comments shouldn’t come as a shock. This isn’t the first instance of such sentiments from him or other ABC personnel. Some might wonder why it took so long for him to voice these thoughts publicly. And, if he feels comfortable sharing them in public, one can only imagine what might be said behind closed doors at ABC News.
