Hey, did you hear that Jeffrey Toobin lost his job because he took his dick out and seemingly masturbated during a work meeting? You might have missed it while the entire world was on fire this year, but it happened. In the annals of inappropriate behavior, there are worse things out there. That said, it is
still wildly inappropriate and just because he didn’t assault someone or burn the office down doesn’t make it any more acceptable. It’s sexual harassment. Full stop.

The New York Times posted an article on The Undoing of Jeffrey Toobin on Tuesday by reporters Katherine Rosman and Jacob Bernstein. The main takeaway is that CNN executives are still unwilling to discuss his future, which means he s not fired. A spokeswoman confirmed Toobin was still CNN s chief legal analyst, but would not comment further.
Three CNN employees say that CNN boss Jeff Zucker is a big fan of Mr. Toobin’s and a believer in second chances. But Mr. Zucker may be leaving CNN in 2021, making his opinion perhaps irrelevant. Toobin s offense is described:

CNN has yet to terminate Jeffrey Toobin amid an ongoing masturbation scandal even as the liberal New York Times renewed the spotlight on the network’s star legal analyst’s fall from grace, hinting that CNN could keep him around despite a history of “pervy’” actions.
Toobin was fired from his job as a staff writer at the New Yorker magazine following an investigation into an incident in which he was caught masturbating on a Zoom call with colleagues. The Times published a lengthy feature on the situation Tuesday headlined, “The Undoing of Jeffrey Toobin,” which details that CNN has not taken action against its liberal legal analyst.
