Good.

He apparently violated the policies of ABC News.

If only Fox News were so fastidious.

Fox news plead in court that they're not news, they're entertainment. We've seen the text messages where they colluded to lie to their viewers and tell their viewers what they want to hear instead of the truth.

He was fired for calling them "World Class Haters"?

This is why Demowussies lose time and time again.

Republican would have circled their wagons around one of their own and protected him.

Meanwhile, "To err is human, to forgive divine," Musk said in a repost to X of a post from Vice President JD Vance that also supported the staffer's reinstatement.

Why? You don't believe in free speech?

@#4 ... You don't believe in free speech? ...

He violated ABC company policies.

Well, he does support hateful policies, technically,
hate and fear are intimately connected; fear is the prime human motivation, the most effective advertisement. SO of course all politicians will employ fear, (hate), -to get what they want. The right hate illegal immigration, and the left hates the right, for instance. Each side is motivated by hate, (fear).

...I think, just myself think, the hate manipulation is designed at level, to maintain a balance of a sort, designed so the winners can collect from the losers for an even balance, and the (((bookie))) takes his cut from the middle.

Unless I read the article incorrectly. His statement about Trump and Miller were made on personal time, not company time.

He's being punished for expressing himself, which should be protected by the first amendment.

The problem is, as always, democrats are expected to have standards whereas republicans have none.

This is why Democrats will Keep Losing.

@#8 ... Unless I read the article incorrectly. His statement about Trump and Miller were made on personal time, not company time. ...

He is a public-facing personality for ABC News. As such, his employment agreement likely has terms that prevent the use of personal accounts in the alleged manner.

I have signed employment agreements that restricted what I could say on social media.

So, this boils down to what his employment agreement states. And I doubt any of that agreement is public.

If Mr Moran thinks he was unjustly fired, then there are the Courts ...

"his employment agreement likely has terms that prevent the use of personal accounts in the alleged manner."

The boilerplate language is something akin to "actions or statements which reflect negatively against ABC..."

Although what worries me is, they're firing people for telling the obvious truth.

Id wager it has more to do with the fact Trump is very litigious and has already won several cases against the media.

He has effectively killed journalism.

Unfortunately Trump has proven truth is subjective.

If he says the sun rises in the west and enough people agree with it, the it's so.

Apply that to all things Trump and that's why we're in the situation were in today.

@#11 >i> ... Id wager it has more to do with the fact Trump is very litigious and has already won several cases against the media. ...

I agree that may be part of it (a major part, likely).

@#11

btw, thx for the rational discussion.

#14 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-06-13 06:25 PM

How does telling the truth reflect negatively on ABC?

#15 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-06-13 06:29 PM

------- hasn't won ----. His opponents unilaterally surrender

#16 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-06-13 06:30 PM

ABC is risk averse and Cowardly.

They should have defended and supported him. Not fired him.

At a miminum they should have waited for events to unfold before acting.

Wimps.

"The right hate illegal immigration" No TWINKHUNTER.
The right hates brown and black folks and are cheering as legally documented migrants are getting tossed out so as not to stain the pure white stain they so desire in this country. Let us get this straight. And by the way, hating fascist wanna be nazis is not wrong and so you can even compare the right with the left. Fail try again but maybe this time read a book on history or learn to love people of all colors not just white people.
