‘Second Chance’: New York Times Confirms CNN Hasn’t Fired Toobin, Wants to Keep Him
16th December 2020
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.”
