Former ABC News correspondent, Terry Moran, was fired in June for attacking President Trump on social media. He now admits that when it comes to Trump, the network newsrooms lack any “viewpoint diversity.”
“There are hardly any people who supported Donald Trump at ABC News. And this is bound to impact coverage, not so much out of malevolent bias… but more out of what is a kind of deafness. The old news divisions don’t hear many of the voices of the country, because those voices aren’t in the newsroom. Yes, news teams go out with a microphone and a camera and accost people at Trump rallies; but to me that often comes off as weirdly anthropological and inaccurate, kind of like trying to understand nature by visiting a zoo,”
