Toobin seen hobnobbing with CNN hosts including Brian Stelter, Kate
Bolduan, John Avlon and Alisyn Camerota
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin’s career-rehabilitation tour continued on Tuesday
night when he was seen partying with colleagues less than a week after
returning to the liberal network, following a nearly eight-month absence
over an embarrassing Zoom incident.
"Toobin isn’t just on CNN’s airwaves again — he was out mixing and
mingling with his colleagues Tuesday night," Politico Playbook reported on
Wednesday.
Toobin was spotted at a New York City party where he hobnobbed with a
variety of CNN personalities, according to TVNewser.

CLAIMING TO COVER MEDIA INDUSTRY
Toobin was swiftly fired by The New Yorker last year after being caught
masturbating on a Zoom call, but CNN welcomed him back to the network
where he's served as a legal analyst since 2002. In a widely mocked
segment on Thursday, anchor Alisyn Camerota explained the scandal and
asked Toobin to explain himself.

CNN hosts and anchors Brian Stelter, Kate Bolduan, John Avlon, Ana
Cabrera, Poppy Harlow, Christine Romans, Donie O’Sullivan, and Victor
Blackwell were at the party with Toobin, according to Politico and
TVNewser.
CNN executives Andrew Morse and Ken Jautz were reportedly there, too.
CNN has been criticized for the way it handled the Toobin situation, with
liberal publications such as NBC News and the Washington Post even taking
shots at the network. Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple recently
bashed CNN in a piece headlined, "CNN still hasn’t explained its decision
to reinstate Jeffrey Toobin."

MASTURBATION SCANDAL: ‘THIS IS CNN’
Wemple pondered if CNN would be able to use Toobin’s analysis the next
time a powerful man is accused of sexual misconduct or harassment. He
noted some CNN staffers were "blindsided by the news" that Toobin was
welcomed back.
Other anchors and hosts welcomed his return, however, saying they missed
his analysis. Toobin is a reliably liberal voice on the network.
CNN’s in-house media reporters previously claimed people have moved on
from the story, but that theory was proven to be bogus when Toobin
continued to be the subject of articles, tweets and jokes for days
following his bizarre return to air. However, it appears CNN’s chief legal
analyst is following the company line.

"It’s in the past, people have moved on," Toobin told Politico.
