And if they see threats, you deal with them in all different kind of ways".{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=amDQEn1ctbwC&dq=%22Terry+Moran%22+-wikipedia&pg=PA2043|title= Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States|first=George W.|last=Bush|author-link=George W.

Controversial tweet

On June 8, 2025, Moran was suspended by ABC News for a midnight tweet (which Moran later deleted) about President Trump and his Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller. The tweet read, Miller wrote on social media, "privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist's pose." White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, "This is unhinged and unacceptable". Leavitt labeled him a "so-called ‘journalist'". She referred to Moran's post as a "rampage". On June 10, 2025, it was announced that ABC would immediately "part ways" with Moran; ABC News had previously said Moran was near the end of his contract term. On June 17, 2025, Moran said that he stood by his post criticizing Trump and his adviser. He said "It wasn’t a drunk tweet" to defend his post of Miller on X.

Reaction to dismissal

Dan Kennedy thought that ABC was right to suspend Moran, but not fire him. Kennedy quoted media critic Margaret Sullivan, {{blockquote|I’m amazed that Moran posted what he did. It's well outside the bounds of what straight-news reporters do. It's more than just calling a lie a lie, or identifying a statement as racist – all of which I think is necessary. Moran is not a pundit or a columnist or any other kind of opinion journalist…. I would hate to see Moran – with his worthy career at ABC News, where he's been for almost 30 years – lose his job over this. I hope that the honchos at ABC let a brief suspension serve its purpose, and put him back to work. Jones wrote, {{blockquote|I traded emails with another former journalist who told me that, in a group chat with other journalists, they settled on this general point: that maybe what Moran posted was true, but by sending his tweet, he played directly into the hands of those on the right who are trying to undermine trust in the media and, in many ways, damage our democracy.

Post ABC News (2025–present)

On June 11, 2025, Moran announced on X that he would continue his reporting from Substack after his dismissal by ABC News, where his publication there is entitled, Real Patriotism with Terry Moran.

Awards

Over the years, Moran's journalism work has been recognized with many awards, including the George Foster Peabody Award, the Emmy Award, the Merriman Smith Award from the White House Correspondents' Association (twice), and the Thurgood Marshall Journalism Award.

In 2006, Moran won the annual White House press corps Award.

Personal life

Moran has been married twice. He married his first wife, Karen Osler, in the late 1980s. They have one child together. In 2015, he became engaged to his second wife, Johanna Cox, a Chinese-language linguist and China intelligence analyst who previously worked as a journalist at Elle magazine. She was the winner of the reality television show Stylista. The couple have three children.

In 2000, Moran's mother died from complications of Alzheimer's Disease.

Moran describes himself as "not that liberal" and that he is a "proud centrist".
