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.

I certainly hope Toobin never works again. If we are luck he will find a way to end his miserable existence amidst all the jokes to be told.

His boss sent him those two pictures (wax on/wax off; clap on/clap off)...

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

And J.O.

But your description is right on the money. You nailed it.

I expect his career is probably over. His lifestyle may take a hit.

Knew it was no accident ....

Who knows? Maybe he was bored stiff, started messing with his computer peripherals, and accidentally focused on the phone jack...

There’s a high probability that Toobin was watching PORNOGRAPHY while he was video conferencing and wh@cking off.
