Terry Moran: I'm So Totally STOKED!!! to Finally Have My Own Unpaid Podcast
All of these leftwing propagandists fired by leftwing media companies for being too stridently partisan all claim the same thing: We're all so excited to no longer have our seven-digit salaries at corporate "news" companies, we're so psyched to now have unpaid gigs on Substack.
Weird. If they loved podcasting this much, they could have entered the field at any time before their much-deserved firings. Seems suspicious. Jake Tapper's buddy Terry Moran is just loving being funemployed.So, so psyched to have 90,000 subscribers on Substack. What a career move. Terry Moran is so completely stoked to now be on Substack that he's complaining about being fired. Weird. You'd think he'd be grateful to be fired, as it finally gave him the chance to get into the podcast game he's so enamored of.
Terry Moran has revealed he is launching a Substack channel just days after he was axed from his anchor job at ABC over anti-Trump social media comments. The 28-year ABC veteran, who was pictured barefoot, pacing and biting his nails outside his home earlier today, took to X - the same platform which ultimately became his downfall - to unveil the new career move. 'For almost 28 years I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News. As you may have heard, I'm not there anymore,' he said, referencing the high-profile axing. Moran was let go following a 'clear violation' of the network's social media and impartiality policy. ... Those comments, though swiftly deleted, ultimately went viral and ABC executives felt they had no choice but to act quickly and respond harshly. If they didn't, the network's impartiality would have come into question, particularly given Trump's outspoken criticism of media bias.
Now, Moran is forging a new path away from traditional media. 'I'm here, with you, on Substack, this amazing space and I can't wait to get at it,' he said. 'To get at the important work we all have to do in this time of such trouble for our country. 'I'm going to be reporting and interviewing and just sharing with you and hoping to hear from you as well.' Moran said it will take 'a few days, maybe longer' to get his profile up and running.
ABC top bosses fired Moran within two days of him sending and deleting the post, citing a 'clear violation' of the network's policies. Speaking to the New York Times on Monday, Moran insisted it was 'not a drunk tweet', and lashed out at the suggestion he was on the outs anyway. He said his former employer's framing of his contract situation was 'incorrect', and accused ABC of 'bailing' on a 'pre-existing oral agreement' that would have seen his contract renewed for three more years. 'We had a deal,' he fumed. The statement from ABC which infuriated Moran read: 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran, and based on his recent post -- which was a clear violation of ABC News policies -- we have made the decision to not renew.' ... An insider at ABC previously told Fox News that Moran was quickly ousted from the network because he gave bosses 'no other choice' after sharing his anti-Trump beliefs. 'We f***ing took it seriously and dealt with it pretty g*d***mn quickly,' they said, adding that the network wanted to avoid a drawn-out investigation as they decided to ax him within days of the post. In the days after losing his job, Moran announced a new career move as he launched his own Substack channel.
Moran said he is forging a new path away from traditional media. 'I'm here, with you, on Substack, this amazing space and I can't wait to get at it,' he said.
I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News. And as you may have heard … I'm not there anymore.

I'll bet a well-known lefty with the right connections -- which anyone coming out of FNM should have -- could make a nice living getting paid by sugar daddies to write articles the sugar daddy wants written. No, it won't be 7-figure deals at CNN, but sadly these cocksuckers ain't never gonna starve.

My favorite part is the ignorant conceit that their prior paycheck was a function of their value as providing information and insight.
And not as a function as merely gullible and pliable propagandists.
But, they're too dense to ever learn that their unique perspective and reporting isn't at all in demand when consumers are no longer forced to subsidize them via cable bundling or exclusive over-the-air broadcast licenses.

LMAO. Without all the hoopla and PR that infests legacy media news, these half-wits are nothing more than your usual run-of-the-mill blowhards with self-important opinions.
But, the truly enjoyable thing is watching them flail in competition against other run-of-the-mill blowhards with other self-important opinions. We've always known that "journalists" of this capacity are not especially intelligent or ground breaking. It's entertaining as hell to sit back and watch them understand that in real time.

***Days prior, he shared a controversial post on X describing Trump as a 'world class hater' and top White House staffer Stephen Miller as the 'bile' behind the Trumpist movement.
'Miller is a man who is richly endowed with the capacity for hatred. He's a world class hater,' Moran wrote just after midnight on Sunday.
'You can see this just by looking at him because you can see that his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment. He eats his hate. Trump is a world-class hater. But his hatred only a means to an end, and that end his own glorification.'***

Rick Moran, then of American Thinker and now of PJ Media is the brother of Terry. Had a short post about it last week as supportive of his brother. This is despite apparently Rick was the sole conservative of his liberal family and Rick ain't all that conservative as evidenced by his posts over the years. Terry went batshit left starting from a family that worshipped FDR.

Netflix has a documentary on the Titan sub disaster. It's worse than you think. The sub was an even bigger piece of shit than you think it was, it failed every major test it was subjected to, and the entire design was riddled with foundational design flaws that never could have been corrected.
And incredibly, the CEO was such a raging egotistical narcist that -- knowing all this -- he still went down on the sub. The world is full of CEOs who ignore obvious risks in their products and services to sell them to other people. There are very few CEOs who ignore the risks to themselves. Stockton Rush was one of those.
I mention this year because it kinda dovetails with my comment above about the media parroting whatever a sugar daddy wants them to. Right up until the moment the sub imploded and killed everyone, the media was falling over themselves sucking Rush's dick and praising the company. I'm sure he paid them all off to be his PR department.

guys like Moran and Chuck Todd would feel some need to maintain a thin veneer of faux objectivity in their old jobs
once they get fired and start a podcast, they feel no such inhibitions and let their leftist freak flags fly openly. Which only reinforces the general perception of left wing media bias.
Same goes for John Harwood, Dan Rather, etc.

Also, a lot of these folks have loads of cash from their bloated contracts; they're not hurting for money, they're hurting for (perceived) power and influence, of which they had less than they thought.

The statement from ABC which infuriated Moran read: 'We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran, and based on his recent post -- which was a clear violation of ABC News policies -- we have made the decision to not renew.'
Bust a deal, face the wheel.

I mention this year because it kinda dovetails with my comment above about the media parroting whatever a sugar daddy wants them to. Right up until the moment the sub imploded and killed everyone, the media was falling over themselves sucking Rush's dick and praising the company. I'm sure he paid them all off to be his PR department.
A number of years ago now some leftist data analyst looked into what happened when a company/individual bought a network/newspaper and you'll not be shocked to learn all bad press of their parent org stopped.
This was around the time Bezos bought the ComPost and because he included Bezos his analysis became cancelled hate speech....

The sub was an even bigger piece of shit than you think it was, it failed every major test it was subjected to, and the entire design was riddled with foundational design flaws that never could have been corrected.
Say what you will, we still only have had one catastrophic failure.

I'm sure that Mr. Moran made enough money in his career to be very comfortable financially without needing another job, so he's doing an unpaid podcast simply for the attention, so he can continue to think that lots people care about his opinions.

We're all so excited to no longer have our seven-digit salaries at corporate "news" companies, we're so psyched to now have unpaid gigs on Substack.

There appear to be standard, expected lies that managers tell.
A place I worked had a variable, uncertain future. And also, an inexplicably large number of vice presidents. Every time things looked bleak, some of the VPs would get jobs somewhere else, and they always told the same lie: they had not sought a new position, but the opportunity had unexpectedly fallen out of the sky, and they owed it to themselves to branch out and try something new.

One of the long standing problems of 'conservative' media is that that it is not all that conservative.
People are policy so to speak and Buckley and later Lowry at NR hired 'conservatives' that were actually revealed later to be liberal. Something similar happened when Nick Gillespie eviscerated the libertarian flagship Reason.
Basically as liberalism lost its political appeal, they went underground as good Bolshies tend to do.
Been going on since the Cold War ended.

Listen, Moran had been working at this for many decades and making pretty good bank, if he was smart with his money, he probably has a substantial nut to sustain him, and as we have seen, the left takes care of its own.
He’ll probably get a six figure book deal, a teaching gig and a position at some lefty think tank.

Libertarianism, the Niskanen Institute, and even the Cato Institute became infected with leftists pretending to be libertarian to the point that Liberaltarianism became a thing. Nick simply reflected the tide there at Reason during his tenure as editor.

There appear to be standard, expected lies that managers tell.
A place I worked had a variable, uncertain future. And also, an inexplicably large number of vice presidents. Every time things looked bleak, some of the VPs would get jobs somewhere else, and they always told the same lie: they had not sought a new position, but the opportunity had unexpectedly fallen out of the sky, and they owed it to themselves to branch out and try something new.

They will continue to give them all the space to destroy.
Keeping roads in good condition is not a priority for blue governments. In fact, it's a positive. The worse things are, the more they can jack up taxes to fix it, which they never do because they can jack them up again.
Also, it's painfully obvious that leftist governments prioritize lawless illegals and criminals over anything like their actual electorate.
Democrats are going to prioritize illegal gangbangers in other nations over their own neighbors for years to come.

I personally am friends with someone who owned a fairly substantial local media publishing mini-empire (three glossy magazines, four small newspapers). A few years ago he too went belly up and lost it all for a variety of reasons (Covid, being too woke for his readership but not woke enough for his employees, etc.). He lost it all, had to sell everything for pennies on the dollar, declared bankruptcy, moved to a cheaper state.
And THEN he announced he had a brilliant new venture that was going to be 100x bigger and better than his previous empire: A substack!!!
Seriously. He was not joking.
So he mustered all his resources and hired people with borrowed money etc. and LAUNCHED his substack!!!!
And...
And...
...nobody cared.
Got a few dozen subscribers (old friends out of obligation). Made zero dollars.
And declared bankruptcy a second time.
Moral: Substack is a joke. It's just a blog with a different name.

But, like him, they tend to be fair-weather conservatives who don't like actual conservatives all that much.
Are there similar stories of "used to read the Limbaugh Letter?"
Practicing conservative vs. theoretical conservative.

To the degree that pop music is inherently ephemeral, Henley at the top of his game could write a catchy hit and had a pretty good after Eagles career from about 1980-1990 or so.
Still apparently a major league asshole as Randy Meisner would attest to.

John Birch Society, which is looking better to me all the time.
When the Cold War ended and we got access to some of the old Soviet files it became clear that almost everyone rumored to have been a Soviet spy was, and the whole rest of the left was being controlled by them.
And...it produced a yawn and a bit of "this is old news" from the FNM before being buried

The CA legislature just voted down a Newsom backed effort to limit illegal immigrant involvement and reception of benefits from the California Medicaid system.
This is with the state in a massive, massive deficit and without the ability to print money while its relative population against other states, in particular Texas, continues to decline.

"Newsome backed" - I picture Willy Wonka saying "no. stop. don't." when the bad kids were disqualifying themselves from the inheritance. Nobody believes Gavin wants to cut benefits, too many people are stealing them. Or using the illegals.

My big problem with substack is the same as Facebook, Twitter, etc
It seems to be yet another walled in garden. Which is fine, but it's information that people can't easily find using search engines (that are already suppressing information). Things are becoming more and more specialized and isolated and separated and harder and harder to find, which is sort of fascinating when remembering the pre Facebook internet.

Practicing conservative vs. theoretical conservative.
Posted by: People's Hippo Voice
Conservatism relies too much on rationalism in politics just like the now superceded liberals did. For the most part, politics is inherently irrational because most voters base their decisions on rhetoric and other less than rational variables like family history, ethnicity, neighbors/coworkers, etc.
Same reason that markets are irrational based on the fear and greed of investors.
In the long run, rationality rules both markets and politics but that is usually in the ruins of some cataclysm.

Tiny drones you can direct through doorways, hallways, air ducts, etc that rest "harmlessly" on the undersides of tables and chairs in meeting rooms, CEO offices, etc. The challenge is getting and streaming quality voice audio, but it's not insurmountable.

Revolutionaries and leftists do this all the time and have for thousands of years. In the ACW, the South had a uniparty legislature and a life threatinging war going and still had time for fistfights and duels with each other. Legislatures need exactly 2 parties, no more no less.

To the degree that pop music is inherently ephemeral, Henley at the top of his game could write a catchy hit and had a pretty good after Eagles career from about 1980-1990 or so.
Gotta agree, Henley's solo stuff is very good. It helps that he had some amazing people playing on the tracks. Sunset Grill, my personal favorite of his solo stuff, included Randy Newman and Benmont Tench (Tom Petty's keyboard player), among others.
He actually pays people to scour YouTube and other Internet sites for unauthorized uploads or covers of songs he owns, which is a level of pathetic asshole that's rarely achieved.

Lawsuit testimony found at the Guardian UK.
Don Henley testified on Monday that a “poor decision” led to his arrest in 1980, when authorities said they found drugs and a 16-year-old sex worker suffering from an overdose at the rock star’s Los Angeles home.
Henley was asked about the arrest as he testified at a criminal trial surrounding what he says were stolen, handwritten draft lyrics to Hotel California and other Eagles hits.
Henley said he called for a sex worker on a night in November 1980 because he “wanted to escape the depression I was in” over the breakup of the superstar band.
“I wanted to forget about everything that was happening with the band, and I made a poor decision which I regret to this day. I’ve had to live with it for 44 years. I’m still living with it today, in this courtroom. Poor decision,” the 76-year-old testified in a raspy drawl.
As he has previously, Henley said he didn’t know the girl’s age until after his arrest and that he did cocaine with and went to bed with the girl – but never had sex with her.
“I don’t remember the anatomical details, but I know there was no sex,” he said.

Great (regular) guy -- met him at a book signing in Laguna Beach back when the book was released, where he told some good stories and took questions.

Oh speaking of Soviet spies, one of the things we got out of their files is they had an agent code named Doctor Robot who was a minor celebrity, an author, and a college professor based out of NYC who was a noted humanist.

Moran is 65 years old. At one time, CBS had a mandatory retirement policy which required departure at that age. Chet Huntley retired at 59. Walter Cronkite retired at 63. Charles Kuralt retired at 62. Peter Jennings died at 67. John Chancellor went into semi-retirement at age 55, Tom Brokaw at 64, Ted Koppel at 65. On the lighter side, Kathie Lee Gifford retired at 65, Hoda Kotb just recently, at age 60. Among those who have kept going into advanced age are George Will (84) and Dan Rather (93); they'd be more agreeably regarded had they retired at 60.

That's a good song to play 3 times in a row near close at a dance bar. A local band "Elayne and the Biscaines" had a 10-12 minute version of "Can't Explain" for the same purpose.

I can top that. If you're ever in a bar and realize that you truly *hate* the people there, including the staff, you can find 2 songs on those programmable juke boxes that should ruin their evening. First, there's an approximately 24 minute "dance mix" or some such monstrosity version of Donna Summer's "On The Radio". Then top it off with the original Iron Butterfly song "In-A-Gadda-De-Vida that is 17 minutes long and extremely tedious after the opening stanza. 40 minutes of odious noise.

You probably would not want to listen to most pop and rock groups if you were actually around them. from the 1960's to the 90's due to their behavior as well as the groupies that followed them. Same goes for jazz, R&B, etc.
Quite a few pederasts in TV and movies as well.

there's an old SF story of a scientist inventing a time viewer and looking at a timeline at a robot that runs things there. He gets plans to it planted and it makes little robo mice and starts scavenging for metal and parts. When cats start trapping the mice it makes a little cat killer robot while the scientist tries to find the main robot factory unit. "Mechanical Mice" was the name.

Although I don't approve of what Henley did, I also could never get that worked up about it, because the story is that he acted like a 70's rockstar. Can anyone seriously name any rockstar from the 70's or 80's who didn't have all night drug parties with their groupies? He got busted, he got shamed, and he's had to live with it. Most of them didn't.

Well, to be fair, Clinton came up with the evasions immediately--Henley had to think up his ridiculous statements over forty years.
Billy Jeff was one of the most sociopathic lying assholes that one could ever meet in one's life while convincing most everyone that he was a guy you would like to have a beer with.
The damage done by pop stars to society was much more limited than what Clinton did giving China missile secrets in exchange for campaign cash.

I enjoyed the movie Bohemian Rhapsody about Freddie Mercury and Queen, even though there were a few completely ridiculous scenes in it. Remember - the current members of Queen (especially Brian May, who is very respectable now) demanded complete editorial control over the script, and they got it. So there's one scene where Freddie Mercury comes up to his bandmates after a concert and says "Hey we're invited to this great party, it's gonna go on all night long!" And then all 3 of them stiffly say "Oh No Freddie We Must Go Home and stay with our Wives And Children, You Go by Yourself."
I wanted to jump up and scream "you LIARS! you big fat LIARS!!!"
