Hey, @cnn-news.bsky.social, did you really mean it when you reported "Protesters" were " throwing rocks and other projectiles at police."? Why didn't you use words something like "agitators" or the such. (Unless you really meant peaceful protesters.)

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 โ€œworld-class haters.โ€

It seems that @abcnetwork.bsky.social believes in #Censorship, firing one of its own for expressing his PERSONAL views on an non-ABC platform using a non-ABC handle. SHAME ON THEM. Oh yes, they lost a viewer.
