JUST IN: Longtime ABC Reporter Makes Jaw-Dropping Admission About Network’s Trump Bias

A longtime ABC News reporter has come forward to admit what’s been obvious for years: Producers and on-air talent at the struggling network are blinded by their anti-Trump biases.

Terry Moran, a former correspondent who worked at ABC News for 28 years, revealed in a recent report how his onetime colleagues contributed to a “biased” newsroom filled with progressive viewpoints that “lacked diversity” of thought. He was fired by the network in June after launching a personal attack on the Trump administration and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

Within weeks, Moran was back up with his own reporting on Substack. In his latest report, he examines how Brendan Carr, the president’s head of the Federal Communications Commission, intends to fulfill a promise to “root out the bias” in mainstream media.

“Let’s talk about bias. I worked at ABC News for almost 28 years, and I’m proud to say that,” Moran wrote on his Substack on Tuesday. “But: Were we biased? Yes. Almost inadvertently, I’d say. ABC News has the same problem so many leading cultural institutions do in America: A lack of viewpoint diversity.”

When he first started at ABC in 1997, Moran said the news division was comprised almost entirely of “White men” but that its efforts to diversify in subsequent years were “for the better.”

“But there was one way ABC did not change and did not diversify. It is no secret. There are hardly any people who supported Donald Trump at ABC News,” Moran wrote.

“And this is bound to impact coverage, not so much out of malevolent bias… but more out of what is a kind of deafness,” Moran continued. “The old news divisions don’t hear many of the voices of the country, because those voices aren’t in the newsroom. Yes, news teams go out with a microphone and a camera and accost people at Trump rallies; but to me that often comes off as weirdly anthropological and inaccurate, kind of like trying to understand nature by visiting a zoo.”

And although it might “sound strange” to some readers, Moran insisted he was actually a counterbalancing force in the newsroom when other journalists framed a new announcement or initiative by the White House in stark negative terms.

“But inside the newsroom, I had a reputation of trying to get colleagues to see the other side, to walk a mile in the shoes of MAGA, to acknowledge the democratic forces that have made Donald Trump the dominant political figure of our time,” Moran wrote. “So, yes, from my perspective, the old news networks are biased.”

ABC News did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News.

Moran, who landed an interview with President Trump back in April to mark his first 100 days in office, referred to Miller as “one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy,” adding, “It’s not brains. It’s bile.”

“He’s a world-class hater. You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate,” the ABC correspondent ranted in the now-deleted post. “Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.”

Another ABC News source told Fox that Moran was beloved and not some “psycho liberal” like he was being portrayed following the reactionary social media post.
