The corporate media’s mask is finally slipping off.
One network just learned the hard way that there are consequences for crossing the line.
And ABC suspended a veteran reporter after this unhinged attack on Stephen Miller.
ABC News correspondent goes off the rails with late-night rant
ABC News Senior National Correspondent Terry Moran thought he could get away with a vicious personal attack on a Trump administration official.
He was wrong.
Moran launched into a bizarre late-night social media tirade against White House aide Stephen Miller and President Donald Trump.
In a now-deleted post on X, Moran described Miller as a "world-class hater" who "eats his hate" for "spiritual nourishment."
He also called Trump himself a "world-class hater" in the same unhinged rant.
This wasn’t the first time Moran had issues with the Trump administration.
Just months earlier, Trump had chided the reporter during a combative interview in the Oval Office.
But this time, Moran’s attack crossed a line that even his own network couldn’t ignore.
ABC News forced to take action against their own reporter
The backlash was swift and intense from Trump administration officials and conservatives across social media.
ABC News found itself in an impossible position as the controversy exploded.
"ABC News stands for objectivity and impartiality in its news coverage and does not condone subjective personal attacks on others," an ABC News spokesperson told The Daily Wire.
"The post does not reflect the views of ABC News and violated our standards — as a result, Terry Moran has been suspended pending further evaluation," the spokesperson added.
The suspension came after hours of mounting pressure from high-ranking Trump administration officials who demanded accountability.
This marked a rare instance of a major network actually disciplining one of their own for biased coverage.
Vice President JD Vance leads the charge demanding accountability
Vice President JD Vance was among the first to call out Moran’s disgraceful behavior.
"An ABC journalist [Terry Moran] posted this absolutely vile smear of Stephen Miller. It’s dripping with hatred. Remember that every time you watch ABC’s coverage of the Trump administration," Vance posted on social media.
But Vance didn’t stop there.
He defended Miller’s character and motives in a follow-up post that exposed the real divide between the media elite and normal Americans.
"As it happens, I know Stephen quite well. And he’s motivated by love of country. He’s motivated by a fear that people like Terry Moran make rules that normal Americans have to follow, but well connected people don’t. It’s why he fought so hard to get President Trump elected and why he works to hard to implement the agenda. ABC should apologize to Stephen. What Terry posted is disgraceful," Vance added.
The Vice President’s response highlighted a key issue that many Americans have with the corporate media.
There’s one set of rules for the political and media elite, and another set of rules for everyone else.
White House demands answers from ABC News
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also weighed in on the controversy.
"Last night, in a since deleted post, so-called ‘journalist’ [Terry Moran] went on a rampage against Stephen Miller and called President Trump ‘a world class hater.’ This is unhinged and unacceptable. We have reached out to [ABC] to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable," Leavitt said.
Her response showed that the Trump administration wasn’t going to let this slide without consequences.
Katie Miller, who is Stephen Miller’s wife, also fired back at the veteran correspondent.
"This is why Americans don’t trust the Legacy Media," Katie Miller said. "When masks are down you see the radical left-wing bias at [ABC]. These are the people feeding propaganda across the airwaves under the guise of righteousness. [Terry Moran] should be fired from the network immediately."
Her comments struck at the heart of why so many Americans have lost faith in traditional news sources.
Stephen Miller exposes the truth about corporate media bias
Stephen Miller himself responded to Moran’s attack with a statement that cut to the core of the problem.
"The most important fact about Terry’s full public meltdown is what it shows about the corporate press in America. For decades, the privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist’s pose. Terry pulled off his mask," Miller said.
Miller’s response perfectly captured what many Americans have suspected for years.
The corporate media isn’t made up of objective journalists reporting the news.
Instead, it’s filled with left-wing activists masquerading as reporters who use their platforms to attack anyone who disagrees with their political agenda.
Moran’s late-night meltdown was just the latest example of this pattern.
When these so-called journalists think no one is watching, their true feelings come pouring out.
The corporate media’s credibility crisis continues
This incident highlights the ongoing credibility crisis facing the corporate media.
Trust in traditional news sources has plummeted as Americans have witnessed years of biased coverage and partisan attacks disguised as journalism.
Moran’s suspension, while appropriate, is just a small step toward holding the media accountable for their behavior.
The real question is whether ABC News and other networks will learn from this incident or continue to allow their reporters to operate as political activists.
For now, at least one network has been forced to acknowledge that there are still some lines that can’t be crossed.
But the damage to the media’s reputation has already been done.
Americans can see through the facade of objectivity that networks like ABC try to maintain.
When reporters like Terry Moran show their true colors, it exposes the radical bias that has infected the entire industry.
The Trump administration’s swift response to this incident sends a clear message that they won’t tolerate personal attacks disguised as journalism.
Whether other networks take notice remains to be seen.
