In the wake of his firing, Moran transitioned to a Substack platform where he continued to share his perspectives, openly criticizing the actions of his former employer.

However, Moran's critiques expose the delicate balancing act of maintaining journalistic neutrality in an environment increasingly dominated by opinion and bias.
