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.

Just reading the excerpt I found about ten jokes that wrote themselves.

Another example of a tweet not aging well.

But Jeffrey will have plenty of time to play with his toy now.

I wonder how he first found out. Maybe he got a text message from his boss. That must have been fun.

Hand delivered, no doubt.

Jeffery it’s "If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell"

JEFFERY THE TABLE!

Just so it's clear. @realDonaldTrump today called for @BarackObama and @JoeBiden to be indicted and prosecuted. Have our standards fallen so far that this kind of antidemocratic authoritarian behavior passes without criticism? Is this now normal?— Jeffrey Toobin (@JeffreyToobin) October 8, 2020

We've had elites who thought they were better than us ordinary people. Yet,they also took great pride in trying to prove they were better.

For example, Alexander Hamilton (who founded the New York Post) was a notorious elitist prick. However, he earned his chops by being George Washington's loyal aide, kicked ass at Yorktown, and helped stabilize our currency.

Oliver Wendell Holmes was a Hah-vahd graduate, yet was awarded the Medal of Honor for being a courageous leader during the Civil War.

The "elites" today are a bunch of inbred retards. All they seem to want to do is smoke weed, snort coke, and inject Adrenochrome.

Completely different question: What's the purpose of a magazine and a radio station conducting an election simulation?

Is it to practice how to spin the election results? A "technical rehearsal" if the radio station has multiple guests on from remote locations?

I'm not understanding the purpose of this exercise. Please speculate on the purpose of this simulation.
