Warning, GOSSIP!1 Don't like?-- don't CLICK-in!1 (re: TOOBIN & WOLFF)

Post 1: It's filthy GOSSIP!1 Post 2: Consenting adults. Post 3: Who cares?!1 Post 4: (The sources) are RAGS!1

O.K., we can now proceed with post number FIVE!1

Why is this relevant? The dudes are significant in the media and politics. TOOBIN has been one of my admirees. WOLFF's interviews about his book on MURDOCH have been interesting. And then there is the hypocrisy factor: As one of the sources below says, "Noting that (Michael) Wolff likes to pontificate about morals and ethics, Cityfile.com said, 'It's always a bit difficult to take an ethics lesson from a married man who carried on an affair with a woman nearly three decades his junior.' "

Did Married CNN Analyst Get Competitor's Daughter Pregnant?

By Ryan Tate

CNN's Jeffrey Toobin reportedly "crossed the line" with Casey Greenfield, daughter of a CBS reporter. Columnists Rush & Molloy don't give details, but one can speculate from what they omit: Greenfield is pregnant.
Toobin, 13 years Greenfield's senior, is still married (with children) to Amy McIntosh.

Toobin declined to talk to the Daily News about his relationship with Greenfield, as did Greenfield herself. Their refusal to speak is sure to arch eyebrows.

Given Greenfield's advanced pregnancy, which she tracks on her Facebook profile, Rush & Molloy surely knew what their item was implying: Toobin is the father of Greenfield's child.

Greenfield, incidentally, is the daughter of CBS political correspondent Jeff Greenfield. The "brilliant and beautiful" Yale-trained lawyer has seen her 2004 marriage to an LA screenwriter dissolve, Rush & Molloy wrote.

At least now we have a clue as to why Toobin might have been working Facebook when he was supposed to be covering a a presidential debate. Double lives can be time-consuming.

WOLFF DODGES AFFAIR QUESTIONS

.... Noting that (Michael) Wolff likes to pontificate about morals and ethics, Cityfile.com said, "It's always a bit difficult to take an ethics lesson from a married man who carried on an affair with a woman nearly three decades his junior."
We wanted to ask Wolff's wife, Alison Anthoine, a lawyer and principal of Quantum Media, what she knew about her husband's relationship with a woman just slightly older than their daughter, Elizabeth, 25, but Anthoine also failed to respond to calls and e-mails.

Floethe, who told Cityfile.com she was "great friends" with Wolff, denied any affair to the Web site, as did Wolff. But Melik Kaylan, the journalist who introduced Floethe to Wolff, would neither confirm nor deny the allegation. Reached in Beirut, Kaylan told Page Six: "I refuse to have anything to do with it."

Wolff is having a bad month. Though he was paid a $1 million advance for "The Man Who Owns the News," the biography of Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. owns The Post, has sold just 20,000 copies, according to Nielsen BookScan.

THE PROBLEM WITH A DISCLAIMER is its coming off as defensive, especially when it's preemptive. Trouble is, it's damned if do/don't: NOT including it first results in the predictable problems.

DISCLAIMER re: linking to the NY Post (for to head-off highly predictable, OT/hijacking posts):: Yes, it is a RAG. Yes, it is owned by NewsCorp/Faux's MURDOCH. No, he doesn't Dictaphone content to his gossip columnists. No, "gossip" does NOT equate to "UNtruth" (OR with "triviality" for that matter). These old time gossipers are more journalistically reliable than Tweety and such ilk. Frequently, political tidbits are here first, later to show up in more "respectable" venues. Keep friends close, enemies closer. Cherrypicking intel results in self-fulfilling FALSENESS. I got hooked on these gossipers when they were on the E!1 network and, when they were cancelled, tracked them down and they happened to be at the RAG (NY Post). ALL I read at the RAG are the gossip and the horoscope.
