Fox News contributor Joe Concha breaks down CNN\u2019s chief legal analyst\u2019s return to the network following scandal where he was caught masturbating on a Zoom call<\/p>\n
CNN insulted the MeToo movement and provided a happy ending for Jeffrey Toobin.<\/p>\n
CNN’s chief legal analyst returned to the network this week, eight months after pleasuring himself on a New Yorker magazine Zoom call that included several female colleagues who had to witness it. <\/p>\n
Unlike The New Yorker, which promptly fired Toobin after the incident, CNN curiously held out in doing the same. <\/p>\n
And for about the past 250 days, the network continued to pay Toobin his lucrative salary before putting him back on the air. Nice work if you can get it. <\/p>\n
During the interview, Toobin played the victim, insisting he didn’t know other people could see him on the infamous Zoom call. <\/p>\n
So to unpack this, if Toobin had turned off his camera, this kind of behavior on a work call is A-OK? <\/p>\n
It is amazing that CNN simply couldn’t cut the cord here, since there isn’t exactly a shortage of legal analysts to replace him with. <\/p>\n
So some questions to ask: <\/p>\n
1) How do Toobin’s female colleagues at CNN feel about this?<\/p>\n
2) If Toobin held any other lower-level job besides chief legal analyst, would he keep his job? <\/p>\n
The second question is rhetorical, of course. <\/p>\n
Note: The Toobin comeback comes just weeks after anchor Chris Cuomo got off scot-free after providing advice to his brother, Andrew Cuomo, on how to combat multiple sexual harassment allegations.<\/p>\n
Yep- no punishment whatsoever for what many called a fireable offense. <\/p>\n
Jeffery Toobin is back on TV, and not a penny poorer. He\u2019s even writing a book after an extended vacation, showing the boys club at CNN is still very much intact. <\/p>\n
