Former ABC senior national correspondent Terry Moran was fired for tweeting all sorts of nasty things about White House domestic policy advisor Stephen Miller, including that he is a "world-class hater," and ever since then has spent his time podcasting like a prime MSNBC opinion host than a straightforward newsman. On Thursday, Moran joined A Conversation With host Philip DeFranco to talk about the tweets, President Trump, and the journalism industry and suggested that his posts about Miller and comments about Trump are part of God’s purpose for his life.
At one point in the episode, Moran warned, “What we're seeing is no question what other countries have seen a lot, what our Founding Fathers predicted would happen, that a great strong man would, would, all right, not great in the good sense, but great in the power sense, right? Trump is the most dominant figure of our age around the world. Don't underestimate him. He is a world historical figure, and he is the man that we were warned about by the Founders, that democracies fall when a man who can captivate the populace wants to exercise the power that's there in the government, and that is what we're watching.”
Later on, he lamented his former industry colleagues are not even more anti-Trump, “I think that network news, corporate media, legacy media is failing the American people. And they have corporate pressure on them."
