Former ABC News journalist Terry Moran dropped a huge bombshell while recently appearing on the ‘Fifth Column’ podcast, claiming that while he was still with the network in 2021 and was going to do a story about Covid-19 being due to a lab leak, the story was spiked at the last minute because of Anthony Fauci.
This raises a lot of important questions. How did Fauci have the power to spike a news story at a major network? Why didn’t this immediately blow up as a huge scandal? Why didn’t Terry Moran raise the alarm about all of this while it was happening?
If you recall, back in the early days of Covid-19, no one was even allowed to suggest that it happened because of a lab leak, even though that was a completely logical explanation. People could lose their social media accounts for even suggesting it.
FOX News has details:
In an interview published Friday by “The Fifth Column” podcast, Moran recalled a time he said he felt the “heavy hand of censorship” at the Disney-owned network.
Moran said in early 2021, he had seen discussions from “smart and serious” people online floating the possibility that COVID had leaked from a lab and that ABC’s “Nightline” allowed him to pursue a story about the theory.
Moran recalled talking to various scientists and Trump administration officials in a piece that he said did not make any conclusive claims but nevertheless “laid it out.”
“We broke a little news that that lab had been funded by the Chinese military, despite the ‘Bat Lady’ [Chinese virologist Shi Zhengli] saying no, it hadn’t… And we kind of laid it out,” Moran said. “And at the end of the day, my own personal feeling was, you know, it’s probably a little bit more likely it’s natural. But if you told me it had leaked from the lab, fine. It’s probably not cooked up. It’s probably not a ‘Frankenvirus.’”
“And the day that it’s supposed to air, it gets reviewed, and it comes back to me, and it is incomprehensible,” Moran continued. “And I had never been angrier. I’m in the booth–”
“Are these lawyers?” podcast co-host Michael Moynihan asked.
“Lawyers, standards and, I was told, Fauci,” Moran responded. “And I said, ‘I can’t do this.’ And they’re going to air and it’s a 15-minute piece or whatever. And I’m cursing and screaming in the the booth.”

This is huge. Moran should be called to testify before congress, along with his bosses at ABC News.
How did Fauci have the authority to spike this story?
