I'm Terry Moran, and for almost 28 years, I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News
0:06
And as you may have heard, I'm not there anymore. Former ABC News anchor Terry Moran is speaking out against the network he used to work for
0:16
and mainstream media as a whole, saying traditional media has a deafness
0:21
when it comes to hearing pro-Trump voices. Moran isn't holding back in his latest lengthy post online about the industry
0:32
You may remember Moran had scored a one-on-one interview with President Trump back in April
0:39
Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that's OK
0:45
Fast forward to June and Moran criticized Trump and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller
0:50
in a since-deleted post on X, calling them world-class haters. And ABC News fired the anchor, calling his social media post a violation of the network's policies
1:04
Now Terry Moran is flipping the script saying it his former network and others in legacy media that have lost touch with the country In a Substack article Moran wrote were we biased Yes almost inadvertently I say
1:20
ABC News has the same problem so many leading cultural institutions do in America
1:25
a lack of viewpoint diversity. Moran says while ABC became more diverse in backgrounds and
1:32
experience, that diversity never extended to political perspectives. He called it a kind of
1:39
deafness. The old news divisions don't hear many of the voices of the country because those voices
1:45
aren't in the newsroom. While Moran is seemingly proposing that his former network and others in
1:52
mainstream media need to confront their own bias and embrace a broader range of voices
1:58
there's one thing he's not backing down from, the very social media post that got him fired
2:06
Moran says he doesn't regret it, not one syllable. For more details on our report
