Terry Moran, a reporter fired from ABC News after slamming President Trump online, has spilled the beans about his former employer’s obvious anti-Trump bias. He admitted ABC leans heavily against Trump due to a lack of conservative voices in the newsroom—a problem he called “inadvertent” but undeniable. “Hardly anyone there supports Trump,” Moran wrote in his Substack blog, despite efforts to hire more diverse backgrounds.
Moran’s stunning comments came after his June firing for calling Trump adviser Stephen Miller “a world-class hater” on social media. The veteran journalist, who worked at ABC for nearly three decades, exposed how the network’s liberal staffers unintentionally tilt coverage against conservatives. He compared trying to cover Trump supporters without including their voices to “trying to understand nature by visiting a zoo.”
ABC’s diversity push brought in more journalists of varying races and genders, but Moran argues it failed to include different political perspectives. “The old news divisions don’t hear many voices from the country,” he warned. This created a media bubble where liberal viewpoints dominate.
Moran called out FCC Chairman Brendan Carr for conditioning the Paramount-Skydance merger on hiring a “bias monitor” to police CBS News. “Go to hell, Brendan,” he bluntly told Carr. However, he agreed the bias is real—and toxic. “This deafness leads to coverage that doesn’t get the reality of conservative America,” he admitted.
The former ABC correspondent described himself as a rare “devil’s advocate” in the newsroom. He pushed colleagues to see Trump supporters’ perspectives instead of demonizing them. His firing proved even this effort wasn’t enough to survive ABC’s liberal orthodoxy.
Moran’s confession confirms what conservatives have long suspected: major networks can’t fairly cover Trump because they don’t truly listen to half the country. His Substack post paints a picture of a media landscape where liberal employees create echo chambers.
His revelations follow years of conservatives labeling outlets like ABC “fake news” for their slanted coverage. Moran’s inside look validates these accusations, showing systemic bias rather than individual malice.
The fallout raises bigger questions about media accountability. Moran blasts Carr’s bias monitors as political intimidation, but his own story shows why many Americans distrust legacy media. As he put it: “You can’t cover a democracy if you don’t hear its people.”
