CNN Couldn’t Fire Jeffrey Toobin for One Simple Reason

It really takes some balls to, er, I mean guts, to show your face again after being caught on a company Zoom call pleasuring yourself. Most people wouldn’t do it, but then most people wouldn’t feel the need to drop trou in the middle of a work event and take care of business, then actually do it in that same room. If people did, they’d likely be smart enough to leave the room with the camera attached to the computer on which they’d just been talking to everyone they work with only moments before the frisky coffee break. Then again, most people aren't CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.

On the list of things that are obvious firing offenses, going to town on one’s self in front of colleagues, either in person or on a video chat is not on any list. Not because employers encourage it, but because it’s so, well, obvious. No one needs to write down “Don’t play with yourself during work meetings, even in breaks” because who would do that?

Jeffrey Toobin would do that, it turns out. (For the record, it was already widely known that Toobin is a bad person. He had an affair with the daughter of a colleague at CNN, got her pregnant, tried to bully her into getting an abortion, denied paternity, only changing his tune when DNA left him no choice, all of which embarrassed his wife beyond anything…until that Zoom call.)

And even with all that, he is still welcomed on CNN.

Scum sticking together.

Hunter kind of wandered around a bit in his article, but I think his point was that “everyone” on BMM has their share of slime, and if they tried to apply a “standard” to Tobin they’d have to can many others.

To be sure a large number of big shots at CNN when informed about Toobin's...uh...activity during a Zoom call probably expressed puzzlement and thought or uttered "so what?....doesn't everybody do that during Zoom calls?" Then they realized there are actually some people with a sense of propriety/morals (something they lacked themselves) and would think that playing with yourself during work while interacting with co-workers is not something you should do. Cue George Costanza:
