    Yeah, he is outraged. Outraged, I tell you! How dare somebody accuse somebody else of hating people. Unless they are Trump, right? He works on a different set of rules, right?

    "The traditional view, rooted in principles like those from the Society of Professional Journalists, emphasizes objectivity—stick to facts, avoid bias, and let the audience draw conclusions. Opinion can undermine trust, especially if it’s presented as news rather than clearly labeled commentary. Studies, like one from Pew in 2013, show most Americans prefer journalists to report neutrally, with 68% saying they want news without a slant."

    Classic response. Argument style is to put your fingers in your ears and say "nanananana"

    Why is the new right so easily offended if someone criticizes Trump? Why does this Admin act like snowflakes when they hear something that they don't like?

    Yeah, the reaction of "OMG, the guy who spent his early years purposefully dumping trash on the ground to make the janitors at school pick it up is motivated by hatred and bile" is a bit much. Heavens, not that fine man!

    You never know what will set these snowflakes off next. It wasn’t a “meltdown,” “dripping with hatred” or whatever other misplaced terminology these guys want to use. If a simple tweet is taking the time out of the days of members of the White House to call a news organization, the deputy chief of staff and the VP then they have real issues with prioritizing their time and focus. How about they put the E in DOGE and focus on what matters?

    Uh, no. It's not a matter of either you can say anything or else you can say nothing. Journalists can have opinions. Obviously some have roles that are far more opinionated that others.
    I don't have a clue how much leeway Moran has in his job. But there's a obviously a huge difference between thoughtful and thoughtout opinions versus midnight rants on social media

    Oh wow, according to her it was a "rampage." I wonder how she characterized this below, from her boss? Or maybe she didn't say a word about it, LOL.

    Fascinating how the trump admin constantly plays a victim card and holds everyone else to higher ethical standards - but Trump posts hate and venom constantly.

    They are but they are not suppose to impact their coverage and they should not be sharing them unless they are writing Opinion articles. A rant like that against an Administration official that is 100% opinion guessing what is in another person's mind/heart is extremely unprofessional and would get anyone suspended. It is clearly something that would cause a rational person to question Moran's ability to cover this Admin in a neutral way.

    Now that’s vile and hate! Makes Moran look like an amateur. So when can I expect the author of this post to be suspended?

    We can and should have debates about levels of immigration, refugees, and assimilation rates. But if Miller believes that America is - or should be - a White racial/ethno state, that is consistent with having a White nationalist ideology IMO. Of course, not all White nationalists have the exact same views about things; we have seen debates about whether and to what extent Hispanic and Jewish Americans identify as being White, for example.

    Miller is Jewish, and I imagine he identifies as White and disagrees with the White nationalists who dislike Jewish people and don’t consider Jews White. My recollection is that when he was accused of being a White nationalist, he said that allegation was offensive to him because he is Jewish. If he does consider himself White, then I suppose he personally enjoys the same special claim to America that all White people purportedly have.

    Everything Moran said is 100% correct. Stephen Miller, aka Peewee German, is a Nazi and a completely vile human being. This administration just hates Moran because he made Trump look like a clown in his interview with him and didn’t back down and kiss the ring. Trumpers hate censorship until it happens to someone they don’t like, then they’re all for it. Bunch of clowns in a circus.
