(Substack)—ABC News correspondent Terry Moran is facing serious backlash after a heated post on X (formerly Twitter) attacking Stephen Miller, the Trump White House deputy chief of staff. This incident highlights ongoing media bias—especially when journalists venture beyond reporting and into opinion.
On the night of June 8, Moran posted a now‑deleted commentary on X describing Miller as a “world‑class hater,” claiming Miller’s hatred is “his spiritual nourishment”.
ABC News responded swiftly, suspending him “pending further evaluation” and emphasizing the network’s commitment to impartiality.
Insiders reported that many ABC staffers were “pissed” over Moran’s “stupid” verbal attack and some said he “should be fired” for undermining the network’s credibility. They say this kind of blatant bias only confirms the Trump-era criticism that mainstream media often lean heavily left.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the post “unhinged and unacceptable,” while Vice President J.D. Vance labeled it an “absolutely vile smear,” demanding that ABC hold Moran accountable. Stephen Miller himself responded that Moran’s outburst revealed the “corporate press in America” often cloak radical views with a façade of journalism.
The incident highlighted three things that are in jeopardy in legacy media today:
- Media Credibility: Conservatives argue Moran’s post shows how identities and opinions have replaced neutral reporting.
- Political Messaging: For Trump’s team, this is yet another example of left‑leaning media launching personal attacks, rather than focusing on facts.
- Corporate Culture: Moran’s high salary (estimated between $600K–$900K) also came under scrutiny, as staffers suggested firing him would both reinforce impartiality and reduce costs (nypost.com).
ABC hasn’t announced whether he’ll come back. They continue to stand by their impartiality standards. Conservatives warn this incident could further erode public trust in major news outlets—especially among people who feel mainstream media are already biased.
Terry Moran’s remarks serve as a caution: when journalists start voicing bold personal opinions instead of reporting, they undermine their outlet’s promise of neutrality. With both ABC insiders and political leaders calling for accountability, this story could signal a turning point in the debate over media bias and trust.
At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
