New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Masturbating on Zoom Call
Vice ^

Posted on 10/19/2020 2:46:41 PM PDT by qwerty1234

The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week. Toobin says he did not realize his video was on.

“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers,” Toobin told Motherboard.

“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.

Two people who were on the call told Motherboard separately that the call was an election simulation featuring many of the New Yorker's biggest stars: Jane Mayer was playing establishment Republicans; Evan Osnos was Joe Biden, Jelani Cobb was establishment Democrats, Masha Gessen played Donald Trump, Andrew Marantz was the far right, Sue Halpern was left wing democrats, Dexter Filkins was the military, and Jeffrey Toobin playing the courts. There were also a handful of other producers on the call from the New Yorker and WNYC.

And these are the “Elites” who have the world figured out and tell you how to vote.

This country needs a cleaning...and not ‘With a cloth or something”

Absolutely unbelievable. Geez. His poor kids.

What about the election simulation is even slightly arousing? Does he not have enough free time or what?

The anticipated gratification was just too much for him.

Yes, "run my health care, please, I don't know how to do it."

I understand multi-tasking is all the rage, but this is probably a task too far ...

I really enjoy reading the bottom:

This piece has been updated with more detail about the call and the headline has been updated to reflect that Toobin was master@@@@@@.

These people consider themselves superior beings of great intellect. Yet they don’t have the sense to cover up a computer monitor camera when they aren’t actively using it. These fools have no idea that the NSA or many hackers can turn on your camera without your knowledge. These are simple security measures that apparently our “betters” have no clue about. Better yet. Don’t buy devices with these features at all. Use a usb camera and unplug it when not in use if you must play with video chats at all.

Don Imus used to mispronounce the word election all of the time for comedic affect.

Looks like little Jeffy took it literally.

I guess it’s true that masturbation causes insanity.
