Terry Moran, ABC’s blogger covering the Edwards/Donohue controversy, parrots right wing attacks on Amanda Marcotte. But don’t confuse Moran’s position at ABC News as a sign that he’s actually, you know, a journalist. Moran “asks” with no intention of answering:

If a Republican candidate teamed up with a right-wing blogger who spewed this kind of venom, how would people react?

Mike Stark, commenting on Moran’s stenographic posting of right wing attacks, replies with this comment:

I’d take Moran a lot more seriously if he asked George Bush, Dick Cheney, Condi Rice, Don Rumsfield and any number of Republican Senators why they go on Rush Limbaugh’s show. After all, he’s still selling “Gitmo Gear” (calling Gitmo a spa for terrorists) and ridiculing Abu Grahb as a series of frat pranks - even though Iraqi’s died there and had to be spirited out…

I’d take this post a lot more seriously if Moran asked all the Republicans that attended the Conservative Political Action Committee convention of 2006 why they applauded when Ann Coulter said “raghead talk tough, raghead pay consequences”. Dick Cheney, Mitch McConnel, John Fund and George Will attended that conference. Ann Coulter has been invited back to this years…

Where was Moran then?

Listen folks - ABC is a propaganda outlet for Disney, their parent corporation. Don’t believe me? Ask Brian Ross what happened to the report he prepared that explored Disney’s decision not to vet their amusement park workers for a sexual predator history… It was spiked…

Another commenter writes:

That ABC News post is written by Terry Moran, whose brother is Rick Moran of RightWingNutHouse. Rick has a long post today about this matter that is almost verbatim what his brother wrote (he even adds on at the end: “My brother Terry (who has a new blog that you should bookmark immediately) gets it exactly right”. So called liberal media my a**.

What Terry Moran wrote on ABC is copied almost exactly from the right-wing blogosphere - same quotes, ideas, everything. It’s really quite pathetic. He also asks: “If a Republican candidate teamed up with a right-wing blogger who spewed this kind of venom, how would people react?”

Instead of reciting what his brother and his right-wing blogger friends are writing, he should go do the work of a journalist and find out. Why doesn’t he go and reserach what Ruffini and Hynes and Henke have written - you know, do actual real journalist work - and then write about that and he can find out the answer to his stupid question.

As I said before, Moran won’t do this because he and his colleagues in the conservative media are going to give the Republicans a free pass unless we compel them to do otherwise.
