He isn’t wrong.

Hope you don't work in a school system. There are a lot of truthful ways to say things and describe students, but professionals know would be inappropriate.

This is a really stupid comment...I'm sure you know that though.

Not at all. In any business or profession, you have to consider your choice of words. You can't just bluntly say what YOU think to be "the truth."

+1
And hasn’t it been Democrats braying that people are free to say whatever they want - but we’re also free to react to their speech. In this case, there were repercussions. FAFO, as they always say.

And what kind of “journalist” would make such blatantly biased comments in the first place? What a moron.

The fact that He is suspended doesn’t change the fact that Miller Is full of hate.

Do you say the same thing about those that work for Fox News? The NY post?

As a journalist and reporter one is expected to deliver the truth. Sometimes there are no two sides to the story. This is what got us here, living in the ignorance and hate of the Trump era. Journalists should feel free to report on the truth, so they don’t have to take into account every stupid viewpoint and treat it as equal to the truth. That’s how we ended up with Fox.

Duuur, vaccines got the autizmz?!?11

That’s stupid, and should be ignored. Miller is a hateful man. That’s also the truth. Should the reporter have gone about it in a slightly different way? Maybe, but he knew what he was doing when he did it.

Exactly.

ABC told the gang at The View to knock it off too.

They're getting tired of being sued for libel.

Those boots are not gonna lick themselves, eh? Maga is so pathetically servile.

You seem confused. It’s ABC here that suspended him, because he embarrassed their organization.

He can get a job with The View.

He probably has enough money to retire.

It's shocking how many people spout off "first amendment!!!! freedom of speech!!!!" who don't actually know what that means.

It doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without consequences from your employer or the public.

In the most basic terms, freedom of speech means that private citizens can criticize the government without interference by or retaliation from the government. That's the only way in which your speech is protected.

It doesn't mean you can post your opinion on X on Saturday and are protected from getting fired or suspended at work on Monday.

Now, where it gets murky with reporters is the freedom of the press aspect. Did he say that as a reporter in the capacity of doing his job? No. He said it as a private citizen who happens to be employed by ABC News. Had he said it as a reporter while doing a story and the white house demanded his firing/suspension, that would be against his first amendment rights to free speech and freedom of the press.

They've never actually had to pay, though, because it's extremely difficult to prove libel.

Got it. MAGA and Fox can say whatever they want and everyone has to agree with it. Everyone else does not have freedom of speech.

Where did I say that MAGA and Fox can say whatever they want and we have to agree? It's not my fault that Fox news hosts spout off lies and face no repercussions by the network. Take that up with Fox.

I'm simply telling you that the OFFICIAL meaning of freedom of speech is that you can say what you want about the government without RETALIATION or PUNISHMENT by the government. That's it. That is your only protection. The Government didn't punish Terry Moran, ABC News did.

Terry Moran should have had a disclaimer on his Twitter account that views expressed by him are his own opinions and do not reflect the opinions of his employer. But even that isn't going to 100% protect you from retaliation at work for something you say in public.

I've never had a job where I didn't have to sign some kind of morality clause that stated that anything I did or said in my private life that could reflect negatively on the company or its employees would be immediate grounds for demotion, suspension, or dismissal.

It’s more like a bribe, not a settlement.
