Terry Moran, a former ABC News reporter, acknowledged a bias against Donald Trump within major news networks. He reflected on his 28 years at ABC News, noting that while there is a commitment to quality journalism, there is also an inadvertent bias due to a historical lack of viewpoint diversity. Although ABC has improved hiring practices to include a wider range of backgrounds in recent years, the lack of Trump supporters among the staff affects the coverage, leading to a disconnect and contributing to biased perceptions.
I worked at ABC News for almost 28 years, and I'm proud to say that. A lot of good people do a lot of really good work there, and they try hard to get the story right.
There are hardly any people who supported Donald Trump at ABC News or the other corporate/legacy/mainstream news networks. And this is bound to impact coverage.
When I joined ABC News in 1997, it was basically run by white men. That management structure lasted for a long time, way too long.
Over the last decade or so, the company made an effort to hire and promote journalists from a much wider diversity of backgrounds and life experiences.
