Over on @mediaitenews.bsky.social, @colbyhall.bsky.social does a pretty good job diagnosing the problem that leads to situations like the Terry Moran blow-up. www.mediaite.com/opinion/the-...
This asymmetry is the core of the problem. Journalists are held to impossibly high standards of accountability, while the real drivers of disinformation and public rage skate by unchecked. The more “independent” the media becomes — be it YouTube screamers, Substack polemicists, or social-media flamethrowers — the more neutered traditional journalism looks by comparison. And the more the public, understandably, tunes out. We live in a time when ratings reward rage, and legacy outlets are increasingly viewed as both compromised and toothless. The people still trying to tell the truth are left hemmed in by rules that were written for another era, on another platform, for another kind of audience. We should be asking harder questions—not just about Moran’s tweet, but about the environment that made it feel necessary. About how we’ve created a system where the loudest voices are rewarded not for their accuracy, but for their ability to provoke. About why we hold journalists to impossible standards while letting others burn the entire ecosystem down without consequence. This moment — this small scandal with big implications — could be a clarifying one. Terry Moran is no hack. He’s a smart, seasoned reporter who made a bad call. He’s also, and this might come as a surprise to his critics, not a liberal in the slightest. But maybe, just maybe, he can use this moment to start a much bigger conversation about the asymmetry of outrage, and how the Fourth Estate is being slowly strangled by a combination of bad faith, broken incentives, and rules that no longer apply.

The Firing of ABC’s Terry Moran is a Grim Victory For The Woke Right

Terry Moran made a mistake. Not a career-killing one, but one that should be addressed. The outrage that followed?It has revealed a shocking double standard.
