Fox News • • world
Key Points:
- Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran acknowledged that ABC News is a liberal institution and attributed its struggles to fairly cover President Donald Trump to a lack of political viewpoint diversity within its newsroom.
- Moran said he attempted to promote fairness in Trump coverage by sending internal emails encouraging balanced reporting, but faced resistance from colleagues, many of whom had not voted for Trump.
- ABC News declined to renew Moran's contract after he posted a since-deleted social media comment labeling Trump and Stephen Miller as "world-class haters," which the network said violated its impartiality policies.
- An ABC staffer indicated Moran clashed with liberal colleagues and that the network acted quickly to avoid damaging its credibility amid widespread distrust of legacy media.
- Media Research Center president David Bozell criticized Moran for years of anti-Trump coverage and dismissed his recent admissions as insincere, calling him a key participant in ABC's liberal bias.
