Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran says he tried to report concerns about President Joe Biden’s health after personally observing what he described as signs of frailty. In comments covered by multiple outlets, Moran says he raised the issue within ABC but was told not to pursue the story.
According to the reports, Moran characterizes the response from network leadership as firm, saying he was “shut down very hard” and that ABC executives rejected his pitch because they told him the story was not his to cover. Fox News similarly reports that Moran says leadership declined his proposal, framing it as a decision that prevented him from running the account.
Both outlets attribute the account to Moran and describe a dispute over whether he should pursue reporting on Biden’s health based on his own observations. The coverage does not provide additional documentation of internal discussions beyond Moran’s statements.
