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

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.

"Trump is like a man feeling an earthquake underneath him and yelling at it to stop.”

The Moron doth project too much, methinks.

They do, and just a little bit nicer than similar targets coming out of South America.

Hah. Critically acclaimed movie Infamous (with Sandra Bullock as Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird) had scenes of the name dropping Truman Capote saying he defeated Humphrey Bogart in arm wrestling. The Jeff Daniels detective laughs it off but then takes on the challenge. Capote beats him.
Says small people have to be stronger because they are not treated kindly by society.

Dude was funny. I’ll grant that. I still get a chuckle out of that scene in Murder By Death where he tells Detective Wang (Peter Sellers) , “Say your g*ddamn pronouns!”

They never worry about looking stupid. The rodents have no shame. It is never what a rodent says, but rather THAT he/she/it says. If it is something super stupid like this the media push it down a rabbit hole and it is never heard from again. If there is even the slightest bit of sanity in a rodent’s comment the media will run with it and try to make it sound like something Winton Churchill said. Moran knows this very well, this speed boat comment is rabbit hole material.

The US Navy has LOTS of anti-Speedboat weapons now. They would love nothing more than to open the shooting gallery!

Off color remarks by the convicts as Capote passed them on the way to interview the In Cold Blood killer:
“Why don’t you come over here and (#@%#) me?”
Capote: “Yours is too short to reach through the bars.”

“Come over and (@%$#) me.”
Capote: “I’ve sworn off between meals snacks.”

When the killer jumps at him in the cell and tries to strangle him, Capote punches back and saves himself before the guard can get to the cell.

“…describing President Trump as a “world-class hater”

This is basically what they are reduced to when they have no actual argument. They are so arrogant and self centered they can’t see it.

Judging from what happened to the Drug Speedboats in the Caribbean, Iran has made a fatal mistake. LOL!!
