In a Substack article, Moran acknowledged that while many journalists strive for accuracy, a lack of viewpoint diversity has skewed coverage, especially regarding political perspectives. He noted that ABC News made efforts to improve diversity over time, changing its newsroom composition and coverage. However, Moran criticized most mainstream networks for failing to diversify politically, pointing out the absence of Trump supporters within newsrooms and how this led to a disconnect from many American voices.He admitted his criticisms came only after his firing, which some view as opportunistic. Moran also highlighted broader media issues, accusing the U.S. media of promoting division, undermining American values, and showing consistent bias against Trump and his supporters. Ultimately, he described the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/legacy-media-largely-ignore-damning-report-about-ny-nursing-home-deaths\/\" title=\"Legacy ...

So be it. I don&rsquo;t take back or regret a syllable of the post I wrote about Stephen Miller and Donald Trump that got me fired by ABC.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think it was an accurate, fair, and true description of those men,&rdquo; Moran continued. &ldquo;But inside the newsroom, I had a reputation of trying to get colleagues to see the other side, to walk a mile in the shoes of MAGA, to acknowledge the democratic forces that have made Donald Trump the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/morning-joe-and-the-perils-of-normalizing-the-president-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Morning Joe and the perils of \u2018normalizing\u2019 the president - Washington Examiner\">dominant political figure<\/a> of our time.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He concluded, &ldquo;So, yes, from my perspective, the old news networks are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/took-9-people-media-matters-write-trump-tariff-hit-piece-aged-like-milk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biased<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Moran even had the gall to go after CBS for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/another-one-bites-dust-cbs-settles-trump-infamous-kamala-60-minutes-segment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settlement<\/a> with President Donald Trump over deceptively editing an interview with Kamala Harris before the 2024 election.<\/p>\n<p>It seems like Moran doesn&rsquo;t know which direction to go in next.
