I'd ask how they think this guy can ever be taken seriously again, but it's CNN.

Yep. For CNN it just means that they get to renegotiate his salary.

I guess Toobin thinks he can pull it off, and CNN agrees.

He just needs a new name for the Chyron. You know, "Tug" Toobin", "Stroke Toobin" or "Spoot Toobin" are all viable candidates.

Fury at CNN is hard to accomplish, even for a moron who spews so much junk that people are afraid to come near him.

^^^^ That would be "who spews so much from his junk"... See, I fixed it for you!

I can just see it now next time CNN has him on as a panelist for something and they cut to him when it’s his turn to speak:

I don't see how CNN bringing Toobin back really changes anything. CNN was an absolute joke before bringing him back and afterward, nothing has changed. It's hard to lose any more credibility when you're currently sitting at zero. So yank on Toobie!

This ^^^^^

CNN was a joke before Toobin's stunt. It was a joke while he was gone. It'll continue being a joke.

Personally, I wouldn't watch CNN even if we had it available. I don't see the point.

In another age, Toobin would've been gone.

However, as a leftist who's willing to warp legal language and optics to fit the 'narrative', CNN views him as an asset. Roll Eyes

CNN hired Eliot Spitzer, who had gotten caught caught using government funds to transport hookers to service him while Governor of New York. That was a while ago.

Seems CNN is perfectly OK with men like Spitzer and Toobin, as long as their politics are "correct".

CNN hopes to achieve main stream media notoriety by capturing what is known in the industry as - the money shot.
