My Take
Terry Moran represents a breed of journalist I find increasingly rare: one who built his authority the slow way, through decades covering the White House, the Supreme Court, and the campaign trail. What interests me most is his late-career pivot to independence after ABC News — a gamble that trades institutional shelter for an unfiltered voice. Whether you cheer or wince at that move, it forces the question of where credibility actually lives: in the network logo or in the reporter. My read is that Moran bet on the latter, and reporters with decades of sourcing rarely lose that bet entirely.
