considering how toobin got treated, i have pretty low expectations in regards to this

Of course he will be back far faster than Toobin: just look at all the blue check marks who went "i would do the same to protect family", totally ignoring that what he did was mostly (ab)using his position to find material to discredit his brother's accusers.

He would be far less likely to come back if he had refused to push things like Russiagate or the Iraq War.

Didn't they permanently can a guy for criticizing Israel

Of course, they did. He did a speech at the UN and called for the boycott of Israel. Was called antisemitic and fired extremely fast. Crime against the regime are dealt with really fast.

It's possible, and I hope, that Stelter is just wishfully talking out of his rear end about a friend, but the Toobin precedent (and the fact that Stelter probably has insider knowledge of the situation) suggests otherwise.

If they do a real investigation and actually care about what it concludes then he's done, it's just that neither of those things is a foregone conclusion.

Yeah, see while i think we are lucky that Cuomo's post covid ambitions probably pissed enough people in the Democratic New York scene for his scandal to surface, i am far from certain people in the media will follow suit on his brother because he is one of them. But you are right, that may be wishful talking. Tons of blue marks spoke the same sadly and yes Toobin is already back. Also i remember Geraldo Rivera's speeches about cosby's wasted months when he was freed and i suspect many of them wouldn't mind adding Andrew to the "returning Cuomon" wagon.

I'm honestly a bit surprised by this. CNN has made the worst decision so often for so long I didn't think it would happen.

Well, i am not saddened by the news that something good happened today.
