ABC News just fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a hater on social media.
That was a fireable offense – and the board chairman of a taxpayer-funded PBS affiliate decided to one-up it.
Now Bob Greene is waiting to find out if anyone at Rocky Mountain PBS has the spine to do anything about it.
The Post They Couldn't Delete Fast Enough
On Sunday, Trump's 80th birthday, an X account posted a simple question: "Donald Trump turns 80 today. Any birthday wishes?"
Bob Greene – the board chairman of Rocky Mountain PBS, the highest governance position at the organization – typed out his answer.
"A nice stroke that turns him into a drooling, pooping blob in a wheelchair unable to speak," he wrote.

He deleted it.
Libs of TikTok had already screenshotted it.
Rocky Mountain PBS scrambled to put out a statement saying the post "violates their social media guidelines" and "does not reflect the values or opinions of Rocky Mountain Public Media."
They did not say whether Greene still has his job.
Rocky Mountain PBS Confirmed the Violation and Then Said Nothing
When ABC News correspondent Terry Moran called Stephen Miller a "world-class hater" on social media in June 2025, ABC suspended him within hours and fired him two days later.
That was a private network, acting swiftly, holding a prominent journalist accountable.
Rocky Mountain PBS is a different story.
Their statement confirms Greene broke their own rules.
Their statement stops there.
No resignation.
No announcement of consequences.

No timeline for action.
Just a polished press release designed to make the story go away.
The White House didn't let it.
"This is clearly a deranged individual who should seek professional help," said White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales.
She also reminded everyone of what Trump already did: "President Trump rightfully defunded PBS last year, and will continue to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not wasted fueling left-wing propaganda."
That defunding came in July 2025, when Trump signed legislation pulling $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting – the federal pipeline that kept PBS stations like Rocky Mountain on the air.
Bob Greene's post is a perfect illustration of exactly why that decision was correct.
This Is the Bias, Not a Bug
Greene isn't an outlier.
He is the top governance official at a PBS affiliate that spent decades insisting it was objective, nonpartisan, and worthy of your tax dollars.
The man responsible for the station's direction and accountability logged on to wish the sitting President of the United States a debilitating stroke.
On his birthday.
From his personal account with no disclaimer, no "opinions are my own," nothing.

That silence from the organization tells you everything you need to know.
For years, conservatives watched their tax money flow to "public" media that treated Trump voters like rubes, covered his presidency like a criminal enterprise, and pretended the whole time to be neutral arbiters of truth.
Now the board chairman of one of those stations has typed out exactly what he thinks of the man 77 million Americans voted for – and the organization's response is a statement and a shrug.
Trump defunded PBS because the bias was real.
Bob Greene just proved it in 17 words.
