Terry Moran Launches Substack After ABC News Firing Over Anti-Trump Posts
Veteran journalist turns to independent platform following termination for policy violations
Veteran ABC News correspondent Terry Moran has launched a Substack newsletter following his dismissal from the network after 28 years. The move comes after ABC terminated Moran for violating its standards on journalistic impartiality, citing social media posts in which he called President Trump a “world-class hater” and claimed senior advisor Stephen Miller was motivated by hatred.
In a video statement, Moran confirmed his departure and said he looked forward to continuing his journalism through independent reporting and interviews on the subscription-based platform. His posts had circulated widely online, prompting ABC to act swiftly in response to what it described as a breach of professional conduct.
Moran held prominent roles during his tenure at ABC, including Chief Foreign Correspondent and co-anchor of Nightline. His shift to Substack aligns with a growing trend of journalists leaving legacy media to pursue editorial freedom through direct audience engagement.
