Scandal-scarred Jeffrey Toobin leaving CNN after two decades
[NYPOST] Jeffrey Toobin is leaving CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
after two decades on the network — where he survived a pud-whacking masturbation scandal that got him fired from the New Yorker magazine.

The commentator made the abrupt announcement Friday on Twitter as CNN was not expected to renew his contract, according to Deadline.

"Friends, I’ve decided that, after 20 years, I’m leaving @cnn after my vacation," Toobin tweeted. "Was great to spend my last day on air with pals Wolf [Blitzer], Anderson [Cooper] and Don [Lemon]. Love all my former colleagues."
"You're all in my Spank Bank of memories"
The 62-year-old Emmy winner, who was reportedly last on air on Aug. 3, also plugged a forthcoming book he’s writing on the Oklahoma City bombing, due in 2023 from Simon and Schuster.

Toobin’s 27-year career with the New Yorker was marred by an October 2020 Zoom call with colleagues where he was seen pleasuring himself. Conde Nast, the magazine’s parent company, axed Toobin after a three-week investigation, but he returned to the airwaves on CNN in July 2021 after a leave of absence.

#1 I just love how jerking off on a livestream isn't grounds to be fired by CNN. What's the big deal? This is the sort of thing that's only a problem when we little people do it. Elites have a different set of rules that apply to them.

#2 He’s been fired now, and his book won’t earn out its advance. He’ll probably never be important again. That’s satisfying enough for me.
