Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran worried Tuesday that the U.S. will soon lose its free press if President Donald Trump is not "stopped."
Moran, who was fired in June from the network where he worked for almost 28 years after posting a scathing social media rant against Trump and White House aide Stephen Miller, discussed the state of the media with former MSNBC host Chris Matthews on Substack.
Lamenting the recent CBS/Paramount settlement with Trump, and other media shakeups, Matthews worried about the implications of media outlets caving to the president’s demands.
"Is this going to keep going?" Matthews asked. "Or is he going to keep going from network to network, to newspaper to newspaper?… Are they willing to be what they’ve been or are they just going to keep groveling?"
Moran made a bold prediction that there will be no independent news in the U.S. because media organizations will have their power stripped from them by the current administration.
"I think they’re going to, at some point, get rid of the news divisions, is my prediction," he told Matthews. "It will either be stripped from them—look, unless Trump is stopped, there’s a playbook here. You see it in all the authoritarian countries."
"[Viktor] Orban did it, [Vladimir] Putin did it in Russia and the Law and Justice Party in Poland — they stripped the media, the news operations away from independent corporations that will stand up and they sell them to their cronies," he continued.
Moran then brought up the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) investigating ABC News over debate moderators David Muir and Linsey Davis's fact-checking of Trump during the 2024 presidential debate that he said favored his opponent, former Vice President Kamala Harris.

it’s not a bad idea
Stop lying and defaming people . That’s a start.
Kinda sounds like what democrats would do.
Trump must be stopped before he accomplishes any more victories for America. He is killing the cancer that the Democrats inflicted on us.
This guy is delusional. He should be unemployable at this point. Off the charts level of TDS.
Hey, they attempted to seize his NY properties and sell them for the loot.
When the press turns “domestic enemy” it is now wonder they generate a negative reaction.

Buagggaaaagaaahhaahahhahaaha!
Good riddance to these violators of the 1st amendment.
It’s unsettling to some folks, but isn’t it true? When an ideology—political or religious—becomes immune to criticism, it creates a self-reinforcing echo chamber that leads to delusion and collective insanity.
The Democrats increasingly demonstrate this dynamic. But let’s be honest—this principle applies to any belief system that demands protection from scrutiny.
Islam often comes up in this context. Are there others?
I’m still reeling over the cancellation of tax money going to NPR and Planned Parenthood. I never thought we’d see the day..
democrats define projection...
There’s this thing called “Truth”. Just report it.
Sounds like a plan.
You mean do what the Lefties have been doing? Moran is a Moron.
Hang tight the next presidential election is November 7, 2028.
Lots will happen before that time gets here.
Of course they were fine with the media being massively leftist in bias and narrative, but now the tables are turning and it’s a THREAT TO DEMOCRACY
TYPICAL PROJECTING HYPOCRITE LEFTIST
Another serial liar bites the dust.
They misspelled “moron”.
There is a first amendment regarding the press that we all know. However, as we can see, the Democrats have no interest in the first amendment.
Freedom of the press, as protected by the First Amendment, is the right of journalists and media organizations to report news and share information without government interference, censorship, or punishment. It’s a cornerstone of democracy, allowing the press to act as a watchdog over those in power and keep the public informed.
Key aspects of freedom of the press:
Accountability:
A free press helps ensure government accountability by investigating and reporting on potential wrongdoing.
Information access:
It allows for the free flow of information, enabling citizens to be informed and participate in public discourse.
Independence:
Freedom of the press protects journalists from government control, allowing them to operate independently and report without bias.
Varied media:
This freedom applies to various forms of media, including newspapers, magazines, broadcast and cable stations, digital publications, and social media sites.
Limitations:
While freedom of the press is a fundamental right, it’s not absolute. There are limitations, such as:
Defamation:
Publishing false information that harms someone’s reputation can lead to legal consequences, according to Human Rights Careers.
Hate speech:
Speech that incites violence or hatred is often not protected.
Privacy violations:
Unlawful invasion of privacy or harassment can also be subject to legal action.
Access to information:
While the press has a right to access information, there are sometimes limits, especially regarding national security or classified information.
Significance:
Freedom of the press is vital for a healthy democracy, allowing for informed public debate and holding those in power accountable. It ensures that citizens have access to diverse perspectives and can make informed decisions.
