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.

Elitist infection is what is wrong with them. Only cure is exposure. Excuse the pun

I guess he misunderstood when they said they were going to explore “election simulation” ;)

1. the vaguely written initial report suggested that it could have been an error, i.e., Toobin was in his shorts and had an inadvertent wardrobe failure, omitting that Toobin was actually choking the chicken at the time

2. what kind of 60 year-old husband, father, lawyer, Harvard grad (undergraduate and law school), writer and CNN Chief Legal Consultant lacks the basic self control to put off his skin flute recital until after the Zoom meeting is over?

3. Mistake? Mistake? Did he use the wrong hand?

So, according to this simulation, when there is turmoil in the aftermath of election uncertainty, we can count on the courts remaining on the sideline jerking off.
