TDS: Another Raging Journo Gets Himself Suspended Over Ridiculous Rant
News flash: not every dumb idea that comes into your head needs to be shared
Way back in 2016, Trump broke the brains of the ‘legacy’ media. What’s left is mostly the residual trauma. Like this rage-tweet by a supposed ‘journo’.
Terry Moran is the ABC journo who was given the privilege of long-form interview with Donald J Trump.
It was supposed to show the network as a serious news outlet that could get past their obvious hard-left biases and have a substantive interview with a president from the ‘other’ side.
A little more than a month later, the same guy has been suspended.
For this tweet:
Here’s the text itself:
The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile. Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. 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. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.
One almost wonders if he was foaming at the mouth as he wrote it. Clearly not the most rational statement ever written.
Trump’s Press Sec, Karoline Leavitt, was one of the voices calling him out for it:
Last night, in a since deleted post, so-called “journalist” @TerryMoran went on a rampage against Stephen Miller and called President Trump “a world class hater.” This is unhinged and unacceptable. We have reached out to @ABC to inquire about how they plan to hold Terry accountable.
When the network had its feet held to the fire, they really had no option but to send him to the sin bin to cool his heels for a little while. An opinion guy can pop off all he wants, but this guy is supposedly a ‘straight news’ guy. Right-of-center websites have had their advertisers chased away for far less than this:
Like Toobin, he’ll probably be right back at his Senior Correspondent role as soon as the public goes right back to its usual custom of forgetting his name entirely.
