    This is how Fox News “reporters” talk about Democrats ON AIR (and in much more derogatory and dishonest ways) and ABC fires him for a personal tweet.

    Spineless weak puppets.

      All of the legacy media has a bias toward the right. ALL of them. The only time I’ve heard them be objective is when they all asserted, repeatedly, that The Big Lie was in fact a falsehood. And that was because THEY were accused of negligence.

      Outside of that, they’re always showing the left at their worst and allowing the right to pitch their radicalism. They need the left to be sensationalist and the right has to be sane washed because reality is so extreme that people assume the news is sensationalizing them.

      So they fall back on “both sides” yet again.

    1943: punch a nazi in the face and get a metal. 2025: call a nazi a nazi online and lose your job.

    The tweet read:

    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.

    I’m having some trouble here, what’s the controversial statement?

        ABC is cowardly. They settled HitlerPig’s lawsuit against Stephanopoulos, giving him $15 million to end a lawsuit he would have lost, but was a $15 million bribe to leave them alone. Now Moran, an excellent reporter, is fired for a mild insult against PeeWee Himmler. I’m sure Disney acted because PeeWee called and demanded it.

        I just wrote a post saying that PeeWee Himmler jerks off to photos of Nazi death camps. I guess I can expect a call

      Don’t think this specifically, but I always find sus when someone uses appearance to attack someone.

        I took it more as implying his reaction is to relish hatred, not his physical appearance per se.

        The guy is shown repeatedly on video reveling in the pain and suffering he causes. Laughing at the liberals who reveal their weakness by showing empathy, leaning into and enjoying his bad-guy persona.

        That’s what I this he meant.

        Don’t stress yourself out! Disengage and ignore it all for a bit. Come back refreshed because we need you! They want 2 things: to control us, and for us to feel like it’s hopeless… It’s not. There’s more of us and we will win. But in the meantime, please take care of yourself…

    Smells like corporate meddling.

    Reminds me of the 60 Minutes and CBS controversy. In the mid-90s, producers worked on a segment to expose big tobacco knew about the dangers of nicotine yet sold products anyways.

    Big tobacco laid down the pressure on 60 Minutes and CBS network. 60 Minutes was huge back then and had high levels of journalistic integrity. Ultimately, CBS executives killed/delayed/manipulated/watered down the big tobacco story. CBS was at the time was apparently in merger with Westinghouse and executives were pissing their pants the big tobacco lawsuit could kill that M&A.

    ABC is owned by Walt Disney now. I think they have a few acquisitions lined up that they need green lit by Orange man administration. Wouldn’t be surprised if this is the case here.

    Fire Moran to appease Orange man.

    Honestly need to break up the big corporations.

    Let’s translate this…ABC found a way to fire someone who would otherwise retire and take some monthly allowance from ABC.
