Terry Moran, formerly of ABC News, is out at the network following a “clear violation” of the newsroom’s policies in which he targeted White House aide Stephen Miller in a scornful social media post.
Moran worked as ABC News’ senior national correspondent until Sunday when the network suspended the prominent journalist over an X post in which he called Miller a “world-class hater.” The network said in a statement on Tuesday that its contract with Moran’s is up, and it has decided not to renew.

In June 2025 he posted on X calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater” whose hatreds were his “spiritual nourishment” and applying similar language to President Trump. ABC suspended him the same day and, two days later, announced it would not renew his contract, citing a violation of the network’s standards on objectivity. Moran said he stood by the post and did not regret it.
He immediately began publishing independently on Substack under the title Real Patriotism with Terry Moran. In May 2026 he launched the website RealPatriotism.com, which hosts his reporting plus a daily live video program that includes viewer call-ins. He continues to cover national politics, legal affairs, and the Supreme Court as an independent journalist.
