Fired ABC News Anchor Terry Moran Reveals New Job After Trump Controversy

Almost a year after Terry Moran was suspended and later fired from ABC News, the former Senior National Correspondent has launched his own independent news website, RealPatriotism.com where he will star in a daily news show.

“I’ve got some exciting news to share with you, but first, and more important, I want to say thank you, truly,” Moran said in an Instagram video promoting his new venture. “It’s been almost a year now since ABC News and I parted ways and I could not have dreamt what was going to come next: You, you came next.”

Moran was let go from ABC News in June 2025 after comments he made on social media about White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and President Donald Trump were deemed a “clear violation” of the network’s policies. Moran described Miller as “a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred” and called both him and Trump “world-class” haters.

“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,” a spokesperson for the channel said at the time of Moran’s firing.

A month later, Moran launched his own Substack, featuring his independent reporting, which he is now expanding in his own beehiiv website, RealPatriotism.com, which will also feature an upcoming daily news video broadcast with live call-in conversations.

Moran thanked the “millions of others who have made it possible for me over the past, whatever it is, 10 months to do what I love to do: report, write, interview, travel the country, bring you the stories and the perspectives — the independent perspectives — that I think our country needs in these troubled times.”

The reporter said it is now time for the “next chapter,” explaining, “We are building a new platform, RealPatriotism.com, and it’s going to be the home for all of my work and more. We’re launching a daily video news program that we want you to participate in. We’re going to take your calls, your questions and comments, answer them, talk about them on the air live at realpatriotism.com, YouTube and elsewhere.”

Moran described the job of a journalist is “to hold power to account,” something which he’s proud to have done for 30 years. “It’s getting harder. It’s what I’m doing now, independently, with your support and your participation,” he added.

“‘Equal justice under law,’ it says above our Supreme Court. I’ve covered this place for decades, and now when the big decisions come down, I will be doing special reports for you, breaking down the opinions, taking you behind the words, the language, and to the real forces that are shaping what this court is doing,” Moran continued.

Again, Moran thanked his fans for helping this past year be a chance to do “the most meaningful” work of his career.

“I like to say that I’ve walked out at ABC News of black-and-white and into Technicolor; walked out of yesterday and into tomorrow, where you and millions like you and journalists like me and all kinds of other people are building the next media, the next chapter in American journalism, and I can’t wait to get at it. See you soon,” he concluded.
