Fired ABC Hack Terry Moran Admits He is Liberal Activist — Pledges to Fight Trump During This ‘Dark Time’

To the surprise of absolutely nobody, fired ABC hack Terry Moran has outed himself as a liberal activist.

Earlier this week, Moran was fired by ABC after launching an extraordinary attack on President Trump’s senior policy advisor Stephen MIller.

The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.

Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.

But that’s not what’s interesting about Miller. It’s not brains. It’s bile.

Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He’s a world-class hater.

You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate.

Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end is his own glorification. That’s his spiritual nourishment.

Moran’s rant was too much even for far-left ABC, who fired him hours later.

The 65-year-old is now embarking on a new journey as a left-wing activist who will fight for democracy during this “dark time” in American history.

He wrote in a post on Substack.

In institution after institution, from the law firms to the universities to the Senate itself, and beyond the institutions into our everyday lives—force is being applied to your willingness to speak up and tell the truth about what you are seeing and experiencing.

Sometimes it is physical force. Sometimes it is a threat of physical force, or the online mob descending into your digital life. Sometimes it is the threat to people’s livelihoods and the survival of businesses great and small.

In the face of that danger, all of us, sooner or later, will have to make a choice. Many of us will just want to avert our eyes, pretend that the danger is not real or not that bad or will soon pass over. And some already see it for what it is, and cower before it.

It’s a dark time.

Dozens Of Journalists Targeted, Shot, Detained While Covering LA Protests, Press Org Says

Shocking video and photos taken amid the ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles show journalists and news crews being shot, detained and forced off public property by law enforcement, raising concerns of excessive force and First Amendment rights violations.

There have been more than 30 incidents of police violence against journalists as of Tuesday, including 20 injuries, at least five of which required emergency room or urgent care visits, said Adam Rose, the press rights chair with the Los Angeles Press Club, which released a statement Monday urging an end to the targeting of journalists whose work is constitutionally protected.

The list of injuries includes a freelance photojournalist requiring emergency surgery Sunday night after being shot in the leg with a three-inch piece of plastic that he believes was designed to be shot and explode above a crowd.

Graphic photos shared with HuffPost show a gaping wound in Nick Stern’s right thigh that he said has left him unable to walk or move without assistance.

“Why this device was shot at human, kind of, waist high level, I do not know. The people around me at that time was doing nothing more than waving Mexican flags,” he told HuffPost.

Stern, who said he has three decades of experience photographing public protests, including in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the George Floyd protests in 2020, expressed concern that people may die from the excessive use of force that he witnessed and experienced firsthand.

“I never thought for one moment that I’d actually have to be fearful of law enforcement during a public protest but that seems to be where the danger to journalists comes from,” he said.

Famous journalist Glenn Greenwald mired in sex tape scandal that he says was released by ‘political enemies’

Journalist Glenn Greenwald angrily lashed out at his political enemies after a sex tape showing him in a compromising position spread on social media. 

In a post to X on Friday morning, Greenwald said the clips were published without his ‘knowledge or consent’, and that he planned to take legal action. 

The 58-year-old, who is also a lawyer, added that the leaking of the videos was done so by ‘political enemies’ to ‘advance a political agenda’.

‘Last night’s videos were released online depicting behavior in my private life. Some were distorted and others were not. 

‘They were published without my knowledge or consent and its publication was therefore criminal. 

‘Though we do not yet know exactly who is responsible, we are close to knowing, and the motive was a maliciously political one,’ he said. 

He added that he carries ‘no embarrassment or regret’ about the acts depicted in the videos. 

‘The videos depict consenting adults engaged in intimate actions in their private lives. 

‘They all display fully consensual behavior, harming nobody. 

‘Obviously it can be uncomfortable and unpleasant when your private behavior is made public against your will – that’s why the behavior is private in the first place – but the only wrongdoing here is the criminal and malicious publication of the videos in an attempt to malign perceived political enemies and advance a political agenda.

PATHETIC: Journalists of White House Correspondents Association Considered a ‘Sit-In’ Protest Over Changes in Seating Chart

As the Gateway Pundit recently reported, the Trump administration is planning to take over the seating chart in the briefing room, a power once held by the far-left White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA).

Members of the WHCA, who are apparently a bunch of toddlers throwing a tantrum over the change, considered doing a 1960s style ‘sit-in’ protest in order to object to the changes.

The left views the entire world as a liberal college campus. This is just more proof of that.

From Semafor:

Journalists consider briefing room sit-in as Trump clashes with White House press corps

The Trump administration’s proposal to take over the seating arrangement within the White House press briefing room has rattled the journalists who cover the president and left them mulling how exactly to push back.

The White House plans to impose its own seating chart for reporters in the briefing room, seizing control of a prerogative long managed by the journalists in the room through the White House Correspondents’ Association, Axios first reported Sunday.

The WHCA’s current system reflects the 20th century media power structure: wire services and broadcast and cable television networks occupy the front row, major newspapers and radio get the second and third rows, and a more fluid collection of news organizations sits further back. The White House proposal would upend the arrangement in a move White House officials reportedly believe will be a “fundamental restructuring of the briefing room, based on metrics more reflective of how media is consumed today.”…

According to two people familiar with the discussions, among the proposals raised by members was a potential Civil Rights era-style “sit-in” protest, in which members would return to their old seats and refuse to leave them.

Israel Leveled Gaza — Then Killed the Drone Journalists Who Showed it to the World

Four years ago, Mahmoud Isleem al-Basos began messaging Shadi al-Tabatiby on social media, again and again, asking to join him on shoots. Al-Tabatiby, one of Gaza’s best-known drone journalists, didn’t pay much attention at first.

“But Mahmoud was persistent,” al-Tabatiby said. “So I told him, ‘Fine, I’ll meet you.’”

Twice, al-Tabatiby told al-Basos where he’d be filming; both times, al-Basos showed up and waited.

“There’s an age gap between us, but I love people who work hard and want to learn,” al-Tabatiby said. “I found that in Mahmoud.”

The two grew close, and al-Basos began joining al-Tabatiby on shoots.

Then came Israel’s war on Gaza. Al-Tabatiby, who was freelancing for The Associated Press, relocated to the south. Al-Basos stayed in the north. With movement between the two areas cut off by the Israeli military, they kept in touch.

Al-Tabatiby started assigning al-Basos shoots from afar, and the young journalist picked up work with international outlets, including Reuters and the Turkish news agency Anadolu.

Even after al-Tabatiby evacuated to Egypt a year ago, they stayed in close contact.

Two weeks ago, on March 15, al-Basos was filming preparations for a Ramadan iftar in the northern Gaza city of Beit Lahia. The backdrop was a new expansion of a displacement camp opened by the London-based Al-Khair Foundation, which was paying al-Basos to film the event. Then two Israeli airstrikes hit the area. At least seven people were killed, including al-Basos.

“I was in shock,” Al-Tabatiby said. “I couldn’t believe it.”

He added, with incredulity, “We were in a ceasefire.”

Al-Basos became the fifth drone journalist to be killed by Israel since the start of the war in Gaza.

Meta Complies with Brazilian Court Order While Challenging Justice Alexandre de Moraes’s Demand for Journalist’s Instagram Data

Meta has launched a legal challenge against a ruling by controversial Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who compelled the tech giant to disclose data tied to the Instagram account of journalist Allan dos Santos. Though raising objections to the judge’s rationale, Meta affirmed it would still comply — at least for now.

The company confirmed it will deliver the requested data in a confidential filing, stating, “In compliance with the order and demonstrating good faith, Meta Platforms will provide the requested data, in a separate confidential procedure, within the period granted.”

Justice Alexandre de Moraes consistently stirs controversy with his heavy-handed censorship tactics, like banning social media accounts and blocking platforms such as Telegram and X when they defy him. Critics slam him for trampling free speech, overreaching his role, and acting like a one-man judge-jury-executioner, especially against Bolsonaro allies, while his clash with Elon Musk over X’s compliance has fueled accusations of authoritarianism.

The demand, issued last week, also targeted platform X, requiring both companies to provide the Federal Police with detailed information on Santos’s accounts within ten days — under threat of a R$100,000 ($17,362) daily fine for delay or refusal. The data request is broad, seeking registration details, IP addresses, and post content from mid-2024 through early 2025.

Journalists Were Banned from Asking About Election Integrity During the Biden Administration’s Reign of Terror… NOT ANYMORE! — Watch GP’s Cara Castronuova Ask the White House About Elections!

Journalists were banned from asking questions about election integrity for four years under the Biden Administration (for obvious reasons).

Not anymore! See this reporter’s question regarding President Trump’s new Executive Order on election integrity from yesterday’s press briefing at the White House here on X…

Remember, the Biden DOJ and rogue judges unconstitutionally persecuted, jailed and tortured American citizens and journalists that protested/questioned the 2020 election in order to terrorize us into submission. The FBI even encroached on this journalist’s home.

InfoWars Host Swatted 2x in past Day in Texas, Comes after Another Journalist Murdered

Chase Geiser is a host on Alex Jones’ InfoWars and the author of the book “The Rise of American Populism.” Geiser has appeared on various platforms, including “The Alex Jones Show,” “Timcast,” and “Newsmax.”

Geiser said on X today that he has been swatted twice in the past 24 hours.

SWATing is a criminal harassment tactic in which an individual makes a false emergency report—often involving claims of a hostage situation, active shooter, or other violent threat—to provoke a heavily armed police response to a victim’s home or workplace. The goal is to intimidate, harass, or retaliate against the target by causing them to face a dangerous law enforcement encounter.

SWATing can result in serious injuries or even death, as officers responding to the fabricated threat arrive expecting a high-risk situation. The practice has been used against journalists, politicians, activists, and online personalities, especially in politically charged environments.

Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. have begun treating SWATing as a serious federal offense, with perpetrators facing charges such as false reporting, fraud, and making terroristic threats, carrying severe legal penalties.

Online, some have speculated that the responding police were negligent in responding to his address in the same charged way, twice in the same 24 hour period. They note that his address should have been flagged as a potential political target.

The militant political left has regularly used domestic terrorism tactics like these against the right. Rarely does law enforcement take action to prosecute the offenders.

Alex Jones is claiming Gen. Mike Flynn warned him that he’s on a Ukrainian Hit list.

Ukraine is also accused of killing right-wing journalist Gonzalo Lira in January 2024, while Lira was in custody of the country’s law enforcement.

The right-wing internet personality Phillip Buchanan, known online as “Catturd,” was also swatted in 2023.

This comes in the wake of InfoWars reporter Jamie White’s murder on the streets of Austin, Texas outside of his apartment complex Chandelier Apartments at 2336 Douglas St., Austin, in a parking lot. The suspects fled, and the police do not have anyone yet in custody.

Jones has said that he believes White was on a “Ukraine Hit List.”

Ukrainian Journalist Who Was Previously Awarded by Zelensky Calls for President Trump’s Assassination: “Where is Lee Harvey Oswald When The Country Needs Him So Badly?”

A Ukrainian Regime journalist, who is allegedly linked to Hillary Clinton and the DNC, publicly called for the assassination of President Trump in a Facebook post on Friday.

Vadym Karpiak is a veteran journalist with nearly 30 years under his belt. He suggested Friday that America needs a “Lee Harvey Oswald,” the man who reportedly assassinated John F. Kennedy. 

The post, screenshotted below, asks, “Where is Lee Harvey Oswald when the country needs him so badly? And not just one?”

One of the networks Karpiak has hosted on-air coverage for was used as “a major tool of Ukraine’s information war, praised by the government officials who regularly appear on it for its role in countering Russian disinformation and maintaining morale,” according to the New York Times. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called it a “weapon,” but viewers in Ukraine have grown sick of the propaganda they push for the Ukrainian government.

Zelensky has even reportedly awarded Karpiak with “the Order ‘For Merit’ of the 3rd degree.”
