Overview

• Terry Moran wrote on Substack that ABC News suffers from “inadvertent” bias due to its lack of viewpoint diversity, especially the near absence of pro-Trump voices.
• His remarks build on his June firing from ABC after he called Stephen Miller a “world-class hater” in a now-deleted social media post.
• Moran’s shift to a subscriber-funded Substack mirrors a broader exodus of journalists seeking editorial freedom outside legacy media.
• His critique follows ABC News’s heightened scrutiny over bias after a $15 million defamation settlement with President Trump.
• Moran also condemned FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s proposal for a “bias monitor” at major networks, deepening the debate on federal oversight of newsrooms.
