ABC News correspondent Terry Moran has been suspended from his job after posting a controversial statement on Twitter. His suspension has sparked disagreement among Americans, as some questioned the network’s actions, while others defended them. So why exactly was Moran suspended and when will he return to work?
Here is what we know about Moran’s suspension at ABC News.
Moran is a journalist and senior national correspondent at ABC News. He mainly covers politics and reports from the White House and the Supreme Court.

According to a screenshot of the original post, Moran tweeted about Miller: «You see, his hate — is his spiritual nourishment. He feeds on his hate». He also described Miller as a man «with a rich store of hatred» and a «world-class hater».
Moran then added that Trump is also a «world-class hater. But his hate — is just a means to an end, and that end — is his own glorification».
In response to Moran’s statement, Miller replied: «The most important fact about Terry’s total public breakdown is what it reveals about corporate press in America. For decades, privileged anchors and journalists, telling and controlling our society, have been radicals posing as journalists. Terry has ripped off his mask».
According to a statement from an ABC News representative, Moran «has been suspended pending further evaluation».
