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.

Even if it was “ pan accident” it says a lot about these people and how they get their kicks, what their beliefs are.

I am reminded of Clinton on diplomatic calls with Lewinsky. That is not just a sexual urge, it’s a lot more.

Known affectionately by his colleagues as "Jerking Jeffrey" (or is that "J. O. Jeffrey"?)

What about the election simulation is even slightly arousing?

He was engaging in some erection stimulation, perfectly understandable from the memo he got beforehand

They said, “election.”
He heard “ erection.”

They were probably talking about what it would be like to march Trump out of the Oval Office in handcuffs and an orange suit. Old Jeff just couldn't handle it, with predictable results.
