‘The View’s Ana Navarro Praises ABC News’ Terry Moran After Donald Trump Interview, Saying He 'Gave A Masterclass In Journalism'

Deadline · Armando Tinoco · last updated

Ana Navarro is praising her ABC News colleague Terry Moran following his contentious interview with Donald Trump.

The political analyst took to social media to highlight Moran’s skills and not backing down a testy Trump and giving “a mastercallss in journalism.”

“At a time when so many Americans are afraid and intimidated, Terry gave a masterclass in journalism in his interview of Donald Trump, yesterday. Look it up,” The View co-host shared on Instagram. “Trump gave him the interview because he’d never heard of him and thought Terry would be a push-over. Instead, Terry pushed back.”

She continued, “I urge you to watch the interview – full of unhinged, inaccuracies, exaggerations and down-right lies. But Terry fact-checked him on the spot, time after time.”

During the sit-down interview to highlight Trump’s first 100 days at the White House in his second term, the President of the United States told Moran ha had “the big break of a lifetime,” adding, “You know, you are doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that’s OK.”

Moran pushed back on Trump’s claims that Kilmar Abrego García, the migrant deported from the U.S. that courts have ordered to return, was affiliated with the gang MS-13. Trump said a photo of tattoos on his knuckles confirmed García was part of the gang, but Moran fact-checked him, telling him the photo was digitally altered.

Moran is a Senior National Correspondent for ABC News and an anchor on ABC News Live, leading coverage for the U.S. Supreme Court. Before his current role, he served as a chief foreign correspondent, based in London. Moran was also co-anchor of ABC’s Nightline, covering the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In an increasingly fractured media landscape, truth has been a casualty in the public discussion. Coverage has been warped by the business needs of struggling news organizations, and a significant segment of the public relies on bad-faith outlets that are little more than propagandists. While fact-checking has become routine, some organizations are exploring other ways to combat the trends. And misinformation spewed by AI-driven chatbots has become more of a feature than simply a bug.

Whether it’s the Des Moines Register’s publication of an unfavorable election poll, a routine edit of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris, or the Associated Press’s decision in its authoritative stylebook to continue to use “Gulf of Mexico,” Donald Trump and the White House have used executive authority and legal reprisals in an effort to punish and suppress press coverage that runs contrary to the administration’s preferred narratives.
