ABC News has fired star anchor Terry Moran just days after he penned a social media post calling Donald Trump a 'world class hater' and blasting top advisor Stephen Miller as full of 'bile.'
A spokesperson for the network confirmed the firing in a statement on Tuesday that specifically cited Moran's post as a 'clear violation' of ABC's policy.
'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew,' the statement read.
'At ABC News, we hold all of our reporters to the highest standards of objectivity, fairness and professionalism, and we remain committed to delivering straightforward, trusted journalism,' the rep added.
Moran, 65, was a senior national correspondent at the network. He previously served as ABC's Chief Foreign Correspondent from 2013 to 2018.
Prior to that, Moran co-anchored the network's newsmagazine Nightline for eight years. He was ABC News' Chief White Correspondent from 1999 to 2005.
The journalist notably sat down with the president this past April, for an exclusive interview in the Oval Office.
A few weeks later, he penned the tweet that would end his 28-year ABC career.
He wrote how Miller was the 'bile' behind the Trumpist movement he claimed was being fueled by 'hate.'

Que Daffy Duck saying “what a moran”.

Oh my, John Boy being shown the door.
I'd never heard of him either before all this.
He was ABC News’ Chief White Correspondent ..........
Freudian Slip?...….
Hard liquor’s a summofabeech. .
Where is Nelson Muntz when you need him?
Probably fired because he didn’t use the “F” word.......that’s kind of a required feature for rat hate tweets.
Stephen Miller’s perfect response:
Miller - one of the men behind Trump’s mass deportation agenda - responded to Moran’s comments directly.
‘The most important fact about Terry’s full public meltdown is what it shows about the corporate press in America,’ Miller wrote.
‘For decades, the privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist’s pose. Terry pulled off his mask.’
