[Stephen] Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. Hes a world class hater, ABC News correspondent Terry Moran tweeted early Sunday morning.
It was an unusually frank, and unusually accurate, mainstream media assessment of Miller, and of Trump who Moran also called a world-class hater. As White House deputy chief of staff, Millers far-right bigotry has guided Trumps brutally authoritarian anti-immigrant policies.
Mainstream media has a duty to inform its audience that those policies are in fact hateful. But it rarely does so. Moran is to be commended for speaking truth to power. Speaking truth to power is, after all, what journalists are supposed to do.
Unfortunately, ABC News, like much of corporate media, does not want to speak truth to power, or, it seems, to anyone. Trump and Miller were offended by Morans (accurate) description, and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration reached out to ABC on Sunday morning demanding action.
Hopefully this journalist will either be suspended or terminated, Leavitt huffed to Maria Bartiromo.

.....ABC claims it suspended Moran because it does not condone subjective personal attacks. But calling Miller hateful is not a slur and not even really an insult. Its a statement that Miller is motivated by bigotry and animus. And there is a lot of evidence that he is.
In 2019, during the first Trump administration, the Southern Poverty Law Centers Hatewatch released an investigation into Miller which revealed that he had shared emails with far right outlet Breitbart. The emails included links to white nationalist websites like VDARE and American Renaissance, and expressed Millers relentless animosity towards non-white immigrants.

Just a small plug.. If you are already donating to ACLU, consider adding a bit for Southern Poverty Law Center...

Sadly ironic from a guy who, as I understand it, was raised in the Jewish faith.

Not sure white nationalists like someone who is ethnically Jewish, even if he's self hating

Recall him from Court TV, too. Always thought he did a great job of explaining things. That
