Fired ABC Reporter Terry Moran: Trump's In a ‘Terrible Spot,' Iran’s Got…Speedboats!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

Posted on 03/15/2026 1:03:06 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

ABC News fired correspondent Terry Moran last year, calling his social media post describing President Trump as a “world-class hater” a “clear violation of ABC News policies.”

One year later, looks like Moran's still rooting against Trump—and America. Appearing on The Weekend on MS NOW, Moran did his best Lord Haw-Haw impression, painting the bleakest possible picture of the war with Iran.

Moran warned that the war “isn’t anywhere near over,” because Iran still retains the ability to strike back.

“They can still pop off drones and missiles,” Moran said ominously. “They’ve got speedboats.”

Speedboats: scaree!

All the U.S. has are two aircraft carriers in the region, a third reportedly poised to enter, along with multiple other warships.

I think his last name is now pronounced, ‘Mor-on.’ *SMIRK*

“Speedboats”

Maybe the cartels sold them at a discount after so many drug deliveries got blown up in the waters south of the US.
Some even had phony fishing gear and floppy hats to wear.

Linen jackets and pastel turbans.

Let's check with Venezuelan drug runners of the battles between speedboats and laser guided bombs.

Thank goodness that well renowned military “expert” Terry Moron is giving us his take on all of this.

RE: screenshot of unbalanced man....

Viewer: Maybe the next guest can talk sense.

Friend: Not a chance. It says on the lower right that Padilla is next.

“They can still pop off drones and missiles,” Moran said ominously. “They’ve got speedboats.”

That comment should become a MEME quickly. A mashup of Drug speedboats blowing up would work.

Come to think of it, a lot of Americans have speedboats. Heck, anyone with a little money can get one. Carnage any day right here in the homeland!

Co-host Jonathan Capehart, keeping it classy, introduced Moran by dismissing Trump’s recent comments as “a garbage pail’s worth of rhetoric.”

To which Moron responded by spewing a dumpster's worth of rhetoric.

I could feel my testosterone levels dropping just listening to that exchange. Truman Capote exuded more manliness.

New screenplay for reboot of Miami Vice was rejected as implausible and unserious.
An attractive female is named head of a government group to hunt down and jail or deport illegals. After a dozen action scenes in city streets an informant released a shock story to the media that the married woman is secretly having an affair. She ends up getting pushed out of her job. Then there are fewer action scenes as clashes are reduced. Producer gave a strong “no” to the plot.
