Katie Miller is a power-fucker. Given Michael Wolff's reporting that Trump has entered the "post-sex" phase of his life, and the sudden proximity of Musk during the campaign, it makes sense that she would seize the chance to trade up by joining the Elon Harem.
She probably thinks she can Meanest Girl in that domain. She's probably right about that.
The thing is here this reporter is drunk posting in the middle of the night and it is all fact. Stephen miller is driven by hate, it courses off his body.
I remember back in the first Trump term there was someone who wrote about sitting next to Stephen Miller in the second grade. How Miller would spread glue (maybe rubber cement? can't figure out how this would work otherwise) across his desk and then rub it around into multiple sticky balls. I don't know where I read this, maybe Buzzfeed before their news section was defanged.
Of course Mr. Miller denied it.
Also Ms. Leavitt, greasy though she appears, has a proper skin tone for once. She always has a dingy pallor during the White House briefings, as if the color film that photographed her was already expired.
Maybe Moran should have interviewed a guest like Evan or Gary and let them call Miller a vile piece of trash. Then Moran could simply say "many people agree with you, some don't" and avoid personally saying he was among the many people.
What we don't know is if the scene between ABC and Moran went down like this:
Boss: Look Terry, we know what you said was how you felt. And we don't disagree. But we gotta do something or WE'RE going to be the news story for the next few days. So take the week off with pay and we'll publicly call it a suspension - but it won't mean anything to you or your personnel record.. Just don't say anything that would put that in doubt and this blows over in two days.
Editor desperately telling himself this would all blow over, and Chump would never come after ABC again with bullshit because they'd shown him they can be good little boys and girls.
I beg to differ. Reporters have no business opining. Full stop! Reporting and analyzing, yes; pontificating, no. I reported for the PBS NewsHour and NPR for 41 years, and, had I done what Moran did, I have no doubt that I would have been fired. I'm not arguing about the content of his tweet, but he doesn't have the right to, or the luxury of, voicing his opinions about people he's going to be covering. It damages his credibility...and that of our profession as well.
The root problem here may be the 24/7 news world, the 'daily beast' that must be fed. So reporters become pundits to fill air time, and then they take themselves hyper-seriously.
I can imagine Jim Lehrer or Robin MacNeil saying, "John, we don't care what you think. Tell us what you know!"
We have this thing in the United States called the Constitution. It contains another thing called the 1st Amendment. Expert correspondents in mass media have a particular care to exercise it professionally because theirs is the only profession that is protected by the 1st Amendment.
We understand that people might not be quite as familiar with that as a concept in Putin's Russia, Mr. Bot
Can someone do a poll on X to see where people stand asking " Do you agree or disagree that Stephen Miller is a hateful sack of bile? The same can be done for Elon Musk. No poll for Trump ashe has too many polls already.

Li'l Feller is right once again. Some day, he might be wrong. But today is NOT that day!
Li'l Feller actually was wrong once. It's when he thought he was wrong about something.
Get a brain, Moran!
Actually, I think no one has yet characterized Stephen Miller with adequate venom. Let’s have a contest! There is no bottom; go as low as you like.
Nosferatu
Reinhard Heydrich
Lavrentiy Beria
Ted Bundy
... all rolled into one
The truth, even - or rather, especially - when it hurts, is an absolute defense.
He did it so graciously, with terms like "richly endowed," I'm halfway surprised that poorly educated low information people took offence. Halfway.
This one goes out to a special guy in a special way -- winking your atcha "Mr. Miller"...

J.D. Vance declared that Miller is motivated by “a love of country.”
Uh, maybe, if that country is Russia.
That JD - he's such a kidder!
I thought he was a couchfucker.
No, that would be Apartheid South Africa.
If donkeys are like horses, they can't vomit. Interesting thing about horses.
I once saw someone force feeding squirrel meat to a horse as a sort of traditional veterinary medicine. Poor horse.
What an idiot! Everybody knows horses prefer raccoon burgers!

He tweeted that and THOUGHT HE COULD GET AWAY WITH IT?

I was making a Moran/moron pun. Sorry you didn’t get it.
Only terrible “comedians” blame their supposed audience(s) when it’s themselves and their “jokes” that are actually stupid
Sorry not sorry you didn’t get that
I confess I am eminently stupid.
Actually it wasn't that bad.
Play on words and addressed the point, so two points. IDK the scoring system.
