ABC News terminated veteran correspondent Terry Moran after he referred to President Trump and a senior official as "world-class haters" on social media. The decision was based on ABC's commitment to objectivity and fairness, emphasizing the network's stringent standards for its journalists. Moran, who enjoyed a long tenure at ABC, had recently interviewed Trump, navigating sensitive topics. The network's stance reflects its pursuit of trusted journalism. This incident occurs amid a backdrop of legal and public relations challenges involving the Trump administration and its dealings with network representatives.
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.
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.
Moran had been a foreign correspondent, chief White House correspondent and anchor of Nightline over his nearly three decades at ABC News.
In December, the Walt Disney Co., ABC's corporate parent, agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit filed by Trump.
