New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Zoom D*ck Incident
Vice ^ | October 19, 2020 | Laura Wagner

The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin. Sources tell VICE it’s because he exposed himself during a Zoom call last week between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio.

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

“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.

New Yorker spokesperson Natalie Raabe said: “Jeffrey Toobin has been suspended while we investigate the matter.”

Toobin’s Conde Nast email has been disabled and he has not tweeted since October 13. He did, however, appear on CNN, where he is the network’s chief legal analyst, on Saturday. CNN did not respond to a request for comment.

Doubleday, an imprint of Random House, which published Toobin’s latest book did not respond to emails. Neither did Toobin’s literary agent Kristine Dahl nor Greater Talent Network, which represents Toobin. WNYC did not respond to a request for comment.

Baaaah, thats not the title of the article! Post the actual title of the article, "New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Masturbating on Zoom Call"

Toobin was pounding his toobin on a zoom call! The funny thing is, he wasnt looking at porn! He was baloney slapping talking to magazine colleagues and WNYC workers. Bad mouthing Trump must give him a thrill up his leg!

“I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.”

I thought mute meant to silence the sound. Mute doesn’t mean blind.

Oddly enough, the day after the election I had a driving motivation to work. After eight long, difficult Obama years, it finally felt satisfying to work again.

More details out re: Toobin. He was definitely working himself up into a lather...two others in the Zoom meeting said it seemed he was on another call, and suddenly, he lowered the camera to show off his junk. He's toast.

Yes, a funny - and bizarre - story..why in the world he got all hot and bothered by an election simulation is pretty mystifying. But maybe he was some sort of compulsive who was always fiddling around with himself.

The subway used to be full of guys like him...

Yes, waving their weenies around apparently gives them a feeling of power.

I understand the drive to get back to work. The relief was profound. At the time I worked with women who were Hillary voters- I knew the next day would be hell at work:)

Another call? Hmmm..availing himself of 1-900 services? I guess multitasking is a thing for him.

2020.

After listening to some of his legal analysis I recall saying to myself, “what a jackoff”.

I figure it was one of Toobin’s girlfriends. Anyway, when they said election simulation, Toobin heard erection stimulation. The rest is history.

I agree.

And they should slap these assholes around.

They are the ones always screaming loudest with all this false outrage, they love to talk about sexism, racism, bla bla bla... other peoples feelings, and lecture us about what is right and wrong, and then like Weinstein (another one) they are the biggest swines of them all. Most of these creeps in the MSM or Hollywood are weirdo’s, creeps, sicko’s... and today they are the ones lecturing to society about right and wrong.
