Leave It to Hapless Brian Stelter to Make CNN's 'Toobin Problem' Even More Embarrassing

CNN being CNN. It doesn’t get any better. That whole “Most Trusted Name in News” thing has become a joke that CNN caricatures on a daily basis. Maybe something like The Most Distrusted Name in Dumpster Fires™ would be more appropriate.

"I don't always masturbate with my

"As I reported in an article titled CNN’s Chief Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin ‘Takes Some Time Off’ After ‘Going Anthony Weiner’ on Zoom Call, Toobin, who also writes for the New Yorker, was suspended by the magazine on Monday for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week.

"Later on Monday, CNN said Toobin had “asked for some time off” from his analyst role on the network.

“ 'Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted,” the network said in a statement.

"Memes immediately sprung up on Twitter, among them #Toobin. Here’s one of the “milder” tweets." . . .

. . . "Problem is, rather than lamenting Toobin’s disgusting behavior, the Trump-loathing Stelter instead lamented Toobin being “sidelined at a pivotal moment in a run-up to the election,” seemingly dismissing the creepy reason his pal was put on the shelf." . . .
