Insiders: Jeffrey Toobin Was Yanked Out of CNN's Lineup Like Jeffrey Toobin's Shriveled Shrimpdick During a Conference Call

The official word is that Jeffrey Toobin left of his own accord to spend more time with his hand lotions, anal stimulators, and Mentertainment magazines, but insiders say it is more likely he was thrown into the trash like a tissue filled with three pitiful drops of male effluent and the tears of a saggy clown who knows he's entered the final sad chapter of his life where he won't have to pressure any more friend's daughters to abort his children.

Longtime CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin announced his split with the network late Friday afternoon, only 14 months after CNN welcomed him back following the infamous Zoom incident that tarnished his reputation and embarrassed the network.

Did it really embarrass the network?

Doesn't everyone assume that everyone at CNN is a deranged claw-handed chain-masturbator or worse?

While Toobin announced that he "decided" to leave CNN, many feel he wasn't exactly given a choice considering new CNN CEO Chris Licht is thought to be attempting to "tamp down spectacle" and restore the network's credibility. If anyone brought spectacle to CNN, it was Toobin.
...
A longtime media industry insider with ties to CNN doesn't believe the Friday news-dump announcement was Toobin's decision.
"Jeffrey Toobin was almost certainly pushed out," the industry insider told Fox News Digital.
"You can't have someone on air like that representing you and only someone with Jeff Zucker's power-- which Chris Licht doesn't have-- could have protected him," the insider continued. "Look for many, many more cuts to come. CNN is notoriously bloated compared to Fox and MSNBC and Licht could probably halve its size with no noticeable change on air."
A current CNN insider agreed that more cuts are looming.
"They're going to cut back on [contributors] I think. Toobin clearly was first on the list, but I think it's going to be a broader thing," they told Fox News Digital.
Shelley Ross, a longtime TV news producer who made news last year after her revelation that ex-CNN anchor Chris Cuomo harassed her once at ABC News, took to Facebook with her thoughts on Toobin's exit.
"It was just too difficult to concentrate on anything he was saying. Good decision. I hope he gets help," Ross wrote. "There are many many pundits who are brilliant and don't have his personal baggage, sex offenses, paternity denial, arrogance, creep factor."
...
A former CNN contributor told Fox News Digital that simply ditching Toobin won't help restore the network's straight-news credibility.
"They're in such a hole. It will take major changes, and not atop the network, but amongst the producers and show bookers. They are almost all of one mind -- liberal," the Zucker-era contributor said. "You'd have to make wholesale personnel changes, and I don't think they have [a] capacity or desire to do that."

If CNN is firing every "news" "personality" who appeared without pants on camera, I just got a chill of fear for a certain little potato.

First of all, I didn't film myself, @jamiestelter took this funny video of me wearing shorts and a blazer on air. Second, this four-second clip is NOT WORTH A NEWS STORY! Another "hoax" 😉 https://t.co/LcJfLXsvpe

90 European spot gas prices have reached US$2,500 (per 1,000 cubic metres). According to conservative estimates, if such a tendency persists, prices will exceed US$4,000 per 1,000 cubic metres this winter,” Gazprom said.

US is at 290.85 and thats up from 105 Jul/2020.

If this happens, they're paying 25-40x what we were paying in 2020. That's not sustainable. They'll either throw Ukraine under the bus, or there will be riots in the streets. Possibly both.

Not in that crowd. Besides at his age sex is like playing pool with a rope, he's not 19 and getting a stiffie when he smells perfume.

I forgot, how did they catch him? Bad camera angle?

Every single person on the call saw him pull out lotion, a bunch of tissues, and that's where I stopped watching.

As long as *someone* is paying, but it means that it is really useful for talking with customers. The company pays for Zoom and the customer can just use it for the engagement. It serves the same purpose as teleconferencing services in that regard, but with nice extras. Screen sharing on Zoom is *much* better than with Skype or Teams (in my experience), though not as good as the OG player in that space: WebEx.

Decadence like Toobin's generally requires an audience because the transgression is the kink. Urbanity brings that sort of performance art decadence simply because those who like to transgress flock to where others like them are.

They've already thrown Ukraine under the bus in any real sense - there is no more equipment to send and it wouldn't help if they did.

The real issue is that even if the war does end, Russia has no reason to go back to the status quo ante with them, ever. They have better customers now in India, China, and other parts that at no time have tried to destroy their economy.

Zoom didn't compete with Skype. It sort of ended up in that space for individual users, too, but it is a very different thing.

Zoom competed with WebEx, not Skype. The reason it did well was smoother teleconferencing and lower cost. It's screen sharing was - and remains - inferior, but it is "good enough" given how well it works on the audio/video front and the cost difference.

One, Microsoft bought Skype and was typically slow to develop scalability for large meetings. Zoom was more scalable and degraded less as you added participants from what I recollect plus the whole login versus link thing.

The price was security was largely absent in Zoom compared with Skype which was originally designed as a replacement for phone calls.

The Russians do want to minimize casualties, since they don't want to call people up for domestic political reasons (your service obligation in Russia ends at age 50).

I wonder if the Russkies are going to wait until the Germans are breaking up old furniture to use as firewood, and then launch an offensive, on the assumption that the Europeans will be loath to resupply the Russians at that point.

After all, the Russian Army has no talent for winter warfare. /s

259 221 Dick Quest, perfect name, was a cnn reporter arrested in Central Park with drugs, a string tied around his dick and a dildo in his boot, shoe not ass, since I think he was English. CNN can't be embarrassed about their employees after that in 2008.

As I recall, one end of the string was secured to his junk and the other to his neck. To this day, I do not understand how this magnificent masturbatory contraption worked.

Posted by: The ARC of History! at August 16, 2022 03:38 PM (I2/tG)

The front is stable because the zone they are fighting in has been being fortified since 2014. And they don't want to push the army aside, especially the Azovs and other political troops. They want to bombard them with artillery until they learn their lesson or are blown to bits. And Zelensky's stand fast and die orders just play into that wish.

But given the rumors that several modern NATO artillery pieces have been sold to Russia by the Ukranians your mistake there might not really be one.

Whig - the Romans borrowed their Gods from the Greeks, and the Greeks felt that the Gods controlled everything. Mortals did not have 'free will' like Christians later introduced.
You can see it in their victory columns where they praised the Gods for giving them the win - they had no choice over it. The elites of these societies truly believed this...not so sure the lower classes bought in.

446 Whig - the Romans borrowed their Gods from the Greeks, and the Greeks felt that the Gods controlled everything. Mortals did not have 'free will' like Christians later introduced.
You can see it in their victory columns where they praised the Gods for giving them the win - they had no choice over it. The elites of these societies truly believed this...not so sure the lower classes bought in.

Posted by: Boswell
------------------
The Romans were a bit more pragmatic about their gods than the Greeks and perhaps that is because more of their works still exist. By the time of Caesar, pretty much upper society was pretty open about debauchery but it was considered gauche to be sexually submissive Roman males to a lower rank.

There is a fascinating book about Roman marriage culture that was pretty interesting as I was reading it for any persistence of Roman law in later codified Civil Law like Justinian's Code and subsequent canon law.

You sure ? "The Gods" sounds like that perfect ambiguity - like today's Ruling Class blames "the system".

If it works, they reap the rewards, but they'll still give lip service to "the system". And if it fails ? You proles are just gonna' have to tighten your belts. Blame "the system".

471 >>By the time of Caesar, pretty much upper society was pretty open about debauchery but it was considered gauche to be sexually submissive Roman males to a lower rank.

Well, human nature is to suggest that your behavior is approved by the highest authority. And the Romans left a lot about their gods, much more than the Greeks - but mostly about victories and important marriage unions, coronations, on vases that honored the God's divine will, etc - debauchery at the elite Roman level was approved by the Gods in Roman culture, otherwise they would not have done it.

But yes, they did not participate in this at a similar level that the Greeks did...but the lower level of Roman society - those that farmed and had shops, traders, etc - did not - that is well recorded. It was always a concern of Roman authority that the underclass might have rebelled against the Gods...
