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.

Brian was a "hot" little potato about the coverage at the time:
