What happened
ABC News yesterday suspended longtime correspondent Terry Moran over a deleted late-night social media post in which he called White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller a "world-class hater" who is "richly endowed with the capacity for hatred" and whose "hatreds are his spiritual nourishment."

Who said what
The "interesting" thing about Miller isn't that he's the "brains behind Trumpism" but rather his "bile," Moran said in his post. "He eats his hate," unlike President Donald Trump, whose "hatred is only a means to an end." Miller is the "subject of frequent and ferocious criticism" for designing Trump's immigration policies, CNN said, but it's "highly unusual for a network correspondent like Moran to publish such a politically charged" critique. 

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Fox News yesterday morning she hoped Moran would "either be suspended or terminated" for his "unacceptable and unhinged" post, and ABC had "said they will be taking action." About an hour later, ABC News said Moran had "violated our standards" on neutrality in reporting and "has been suspended pending further evaluation." Moran, who has been with the network since 1997, interviewed Trump in April.

What next?
Executives at "major media outlets are reportedly instructing their newsrooms to temper their coverage" of Trump "amid growing fears of political retribution," Axios said. ABC's December agreement to pay Trump $16 million to settle an unusual defamation lawsuit "was viewed as a remarkable concession to a politician by a broadcast network," The New York Times said. CBS News' parent company is weighing a similar settlement. 

What happened
Colombian Sen. Miguel Uribe Turbay, shot in the head and back during a rally in Bogotá on Saturday, was in "extremely serious" condition after surgery yesterday, according to the hospital he was airlifted to after the assassination attempt. Uribe, a 39-year-old conservative lawmaker, announced his candidacy in October for next year's presidential election. 

Who said what
Uribe's shooting "brought back memories of the violence perpetrated by cocaine cartels and other armed groups" that slayed four presidential candidates and hundreds of other politicians, The Wall Street Journal said. Uribe's mother, prominent journalist Diana Turbay, was killed during a "botched rescue" in 1991 after being kidnapped by drug lord Pablo Escobar. His grandfather Julio César Turbay was president from 1978 to 1982.

A 15-year-old suspect carrying a 9mm Glock-type handgun was captured at the scene. The shooting, filmed on dozens of smartphone cameras, has highlighted how old cycles of political violence hit "even inside families that have been suffering its consequences for decades," International Crisis Group security analyst Elizabeth Dickinson told The Associated Press. Whoever planned the assassination attempt "clearly had the intention to stir up the country."

What next?
Police have "offered no motive" for the attack, The New York Times said. Uribe had criticized stalled efforts by leftist President Gustavo Petro to strike peace deals with armed rebel groups, but he "has not been any more outspoken or critical" than "other conservatives in Colombia, and he was not considered a leading presidential candidate." Petro's government offered a $730,000 reward for information on who was behind the "vile" attack.
