Wow. Even I am shocked by how low the corporate media has fallen.

I didn't see that coming. Shame on ABC.

reporter, better than most I've seen on any of the major networks. CNN or MSNBC would be lucky to get him, imo.

by the right. They've just been playing the game to look somewhat legit. Now that the masks have fully come off Trump and the Republican Party, they see no point in faking it anymore.

Always Be Compliant.

That is Jimmy Kimmel. I love his monologues about Trump. I'm usually asleep at the end of it.

Boycott Disney.
We don't need their fantasies.

Pathetic, spineless, ass kissers.

Fuck those pathetic turds illegally occupying the White House! They are the thinnest skinned crybabies on the planet!

They were hot for him from then on.

He was too “nasty” to Tha Dik.

That was the funniest thing to me. He had someone hand it to him because he thought that was a checkmate. He’s an idiot.

don't criticize the regime. Was this when Moran called Stephen Miller hateful??? They are so thinned skinned.

We are allowed to have differing opinions that are not manufactured by Rupert Murdoch and Fox News. They are the thinnest skinned crybabies on planet earth.

Neither have I.
Easy fact check!

It is heart breaking.

FAFO!!!!!!!! They had this all-premediated Project 2025. We listened I guess that 77 million did not.

We need to stop this cancer.

The plan is proceeding like clockwork.

Beyond their wildest dreams.

We have more national debt than those 3 combined. I can't even imagine how much that $1.2 Trillion paid out every year to service the debt would do to help the poor in America.

TY nolabear!

I’m so disgusted I could

Is What’s a good solution 🕯️🕊️💙🌈🌊🍀

I don't know that Sinclair (yes, a right shitty organization) has anything to do with them.

I may be wrong.

You're correct, Disney owns ABC

The ultra-conservative polls, that woman who does the right wing show (Shannon something?). I don’t know whether to feel bad for the people who stayed on even though they didn’t like it or be mad at them.

because this is utterly RIDICULOUS

and never watch again
such cowards

He doesn't need to work for a shitty company.

It just keeps getting worse and worse....

..if he hadn't been cremated.

I will be boycotting this network

I’ll continue watching!

Meidas couldn’t offer him even a fraction of the salary he’d get from network television.

I’ll be watching for anyone in legacy media to express support.

but at some point, solidarity and the truth in saving democracy becomes more important that a series of numbers. Of course, I'm assuming he's had plenty of time to sock money away and that's he not hurting for it. That's a big assumption to make, but I feel fairly confident when it comes to corporate contracts.

Can you imagine what Walter Cronkite would say and do in this country today?!

The Meidas Touch Network is more than the three Meiselas brothers. Many contributors work with/for them. Katie Phang, Ron Filipkowski, Harry Litman and Brian Karem are names you may recognize. The main YouTube channel has 4.9 million subscribers.
Contributors work across multiple platforms. Certainly, The Meidas Touch Network could be a big part of Moran's future, and he would not be censored. Where can this be found elsewhere?

Independent media needs support all the way. I only get my info from DU, Rachel and Lawrence and everything else is independent media.

Great move by Meidas.

called him a "world class hater"

OMG!

Whatever happened to free speech in this country? Oh, right. I remember. The donald took care of it.

But it seems awfully shabby, and pathetic, to me - that one feels the need to go to these lengths to want and then to assert power.

for $15 million. I imagine free speech went out the window after that. Yet trump can post the most vile stuff imaginable and no one seems to care.

This firing will send a chilling message through newsrooms across the country.

I always enjoyed Moran's reporting, and he's from Chicago, which also elevates him in my book. Perhaps he went over the objective line some small bit, but not even close to enough to be fired for. Cowards.

with reports of our profound disagreement.

The chickenshit media in this country make me want to vomit. There is no excuse for this sort of moral and professional cowardice, given the sort of authoritarian monsters we're up against. Fix this outrage in your memories, folks---never ever forgive, or forget.

They couldn’t handle it.

I boycott all msm.

And their ilk.

The post he made, while accurate IMO showed he couldn't remain impartial and we need impartial journalism if our country is to survive the Trump bullshit that's happening.

Some journalists are hired for their opinions. Although, for 2025, the racial tilt from this administration is stunning.

When mainstream media is not. They do not cover republicans the same way they cover democrats. Orange felon lies constantly and manipulates the markets and they don’t report it, what about the tariff lies ,silence. They have consistently shown you who they are believe them.

We must stop making excuses for the lies in the main stream media. One man told the truth and he wasn’t given a script from the White House, he paid a price other high paid stenographers will not speak up because they will not be willing to lose their jobs. Let’s stop pretending there is honor , truth, giving a damn about this country and realize we must fight with all the tools available to us because they are out to destroy us.

I said the issue is that journalist are supposed to remain impartial and his post made it impossible for ABC to keep him on because his post would call into question anything he did.
It sucks that this has happened to him though.

The people that employ them must remain impartial and want to tell the truth.
You can’t bend the knee to the dictators and remain neutral.

That is wrong in every way

I have always said, if you protect the first amendment, you never have to worry about all of the rest amendments …

We have now crossed the rubicon

ABC's loss.

Have we trusted our mainstream media?
And at this point why should we?

sickening trying to stifle free speech, because calling that POS Miller a hater, Mr. Moran is not lying about that.

Stephen Miller is a hateful POS!!!

I just called te number. .it just directs you to various websites.

buzz off you spineless corporate wankers on your knees -
you have sold out ALL THE WAY

The corporate media's pinnacle isn't human rights, democracy or the public good, (if it were we would be much further down the road to a sustainable green society, and Medicare for All would be a given) so much as corporate, oligarchic or authoritarian domination of human society.

The corporate media's fundamental structures are authoritarian by their very design combined with their prime funding directive of selling anything; good, ill or catastrophic to make money for their corporate owners and major investors ultimately sides them with the wealthiest, usually greediest and most powerful over the public good regardless of perceived morality or immorality.

Thanks for the thread nolabear

THE TRUTH GETS BURIED A LITTLE DEEPER

Con artist propaganda. Untrustworthy.

They should be boycotted and put out of business.

It wasn't enough that they folded and paid $15 million dollars for Stephanopoulos.

Now this!

they won’t have any jobs to hook those wagons to. Corporate news is edited, manipulated, redacted, suppressed, and in all ways controlled by the morbidly rich corporate overlords. If you go rogue, you go..

At the newspaper I worked for, we weren't allowed to post our political opinions on social media.

But here's the rub ... his Twitter account has a post pinned in which he criticizes Trump. It's from 2024. Why didn't ABC take action then?

Link to tweet

He can and will, get something better, which is what he deserves.

F them.

From now on. That's a shame.

For news organizations lacking courage or backbones.

on them.

and that is all I have to say about that .

They are not journalists. People are seeking other avenues of information.

Abolish Ice

Trump is a fascist

Stephen Miller belongs in the Hague IMHO

Way to get on your knees for Trump.

I hope he ends up 10x better off in the long run.

It's extremely unfortunate though because overall he was very good at his job IMO and his loss will be felt.

that capitulating to #DementiaDonnie & co. will gain them nothing. No new rightwing viewers, and Trump will still despise them.

Is DOGE running ABC??

I hope he gets a better job and ends up saying, "wow, that turned out to be a blessing in disguise".

We are screwed.
