ABC News drops Terry Moran over late-night post attacking Trump and Stephen Miller | CNN Business The network is parting ways with its veteran correspondent two days after he posted a missive on X calling the president and his deputy chief of staff “world-class haters.”

...an *accurate tweet* whose accuracy is *confirmed* by *all prior reporting* on the life and times of Stephen Miller.

We are lost.
