Reporter suspended for pulling c*ck out during Zoom call

He was apparently jacking off not just popping his cock out as had been reported earlier.

Yeah, did you see the bottle of lube beside his computer screen. Talk about forensic evidence!

That makes it even harder to understand. This guy is a reputable journalist. What would prompt such bad judgment?

Perhaps “Judgment 101” wasn’t on his class schedule back in the day. A college acquaintance of mine, is/was a local juvenile magistrate in another state. Had been on the bench about 5 years. This past summer, was caught by local police buying meth at a park- and when approached by the officers, swallowed the stuff (in a plastic bag) and was transported to the hospital to have the contents removed. Even “judges” fuck up. Yeah, he got fired and is appealing the whole damn arrest. Unbelievable.

No clever moniker for him or new show yet?

Two-inch Toobin?

Jackin’ Jeff?

Juris-dicktion with Jeffrey Toobin?

Coming Into Money with Jeffrey Toobin?

Beating the Law with Jeffrey Toobin?

I would suggest that perhaps Toobin‘s episode is a stark example of how multi-tasking can go horribly awry.

Perhaps like many individuals (I would suggest some amongst us as well), he was in the habit of looking at porn or engaging in sexually explicit communication with someone else on the internet, and jacking off during such activities.

Like many of us as well, during this pandemic, the Zoom technology has enabled us to hold meetings of a business nature on our computers, the same ones we use for sexual diversions.

It is self evident one should not do these two things at the same time, trusting that by throwing a mute switch, that one audience is thereby excluded from the other activity. I don’t know if this is what happened here, but it sure looks likely.

Things got out of hand. The conference call topic was "Election Simulation". No joke. Toobin thought they said "erection stimulation."

The issue is that things got in hand.

I always found him to be a straight shooter.

Jesus are we really that puritanical?

Everyone masterbates and I’m pretty sure everyone on that Zoom call has seen a penis before.

It was a dumb mistake. Cut the guy some slack.

People make mistakes, but he was on a private call while the New Yorker was paying him.

Good point. As a result, he probably deducts his internet expenses (including his extra curricular ones) on his income taxes as business related. The rest of us who indulge in interneg porn can’t. If this is not right please let me know how to do it.

A Daily News columnist points out that if he had been caught having sex with a woman, it would hardly be so scandalous as masturbation! People are so uncomfortable with self pleasure.

I feel bad for him. Maybe he can run for Mayor of NYC considering Anthony Weiner won’t run again.

I wonder if he had an itch. I mean it happens lol. Too bad, rare finding people on the news with intellect and insights like Jeff. At least he’s human but ugh not good.

Especially here in America. Most uptight country there is on almost every topic.

I’m an empathetic person so I feel badly for Jeffrey. I try to put myself in his position and think how crushing it must be from one day being a well respected or at least well known personality on TV and now having exposed himself unwittingly to the public gaze on what is a very personal and private part of himself. I just hope he has personal support from those around him in this time. The worst thing is if the people around him turn their backs on him. In the distant past I think of a man named John Profumo, who was a Cabinet minister in Britain in the early 1960’s and was caught up in the sex scandal involving Russian spies and national security (he was a junior Minister of Defence during the height of the Cold War). He lied to Parliament about his relations with a prostitute who also slept with the Russian Military Attaché in London. He fell from grace and was ostracized by British society. What he did was to commit himself to a life of public service without pay. He never held public office again but many years later the Queen officially recognized him for his service to humanity.

For one thing, he was on the call with several female colleagues. We don't know he wasn't jerking off to their images on the screen. And neither do they.

unwittingly? Isn’t rule number one “keep your trousers zipped up and your private parts private”? How hard is this? He was in a business zoom. This stuff really isn’t hard, except apparently in his case.

Jeffrey Toobin, a reporter for the New Yorker, was suspended while the magazine investigates an incident where Toobin pulled his dick out while on a Zoom call between members (no pun intended!) of the New Yorker & a local radio station.

Toobin has apologized for his indiscretion, saying that he thought he was off-camera.

Wow, and the guy who was wearing just his boxers (but suited from the waist up) was embarrassed *teehee*

When I read the first ten or so posts to this thread, I was still in disbelief. ...did a Bing.com check, and there it was, even on youtube. What in the hell was he thinking? Could he have gotten some relief a half-hour or later, not immediately at the ending of the Zoom meeting? This is unfortunate for him as well as for those of us who liked and admired his intellect and thoughtful analyses of news events, etc.

[...didn't recognize his name, so after doing a Bing.com and seeing his photos, I said to myself, yeah, I "know" him.]

Four New Jersey high school teachers have been suspended over anti-gay remarks they made during a Zoom class last month, school officials said.

A Dumont High School student took a screenshot of the Nov. 25 chat which was then shared online by former student Matthew DeMarco.

The offensive remarks were part of a conversation between teachers that students were “inadvertently” able to view, according to the school district’s business administrator Kevin Cartotto.

“Why is that kid with the gay gym teacher?” one teacher wrote, according to the screenshot.

Another teacher responded: “Is that her adopted kid? Who is gonna be all (expletive) up growing up watching 2 chicks kissing and calling them both mom.”

The four teachers were suspended with pay, but more disciplinary actions may be coming, Cartotto said during a public Dumont Board of Education meeting Thursday night.

The incident drew public disgust when DeMarco started a petition last month demanding that the teachers resign.

“I know the (gym) teacher,” Matthew DeMarco told ABC New York. ”So as soon as I saw these comments being made about her, I was outraged.”

Dumont Mayor Andrew LaBruno also called the comments “extremely appalling.”

“These homophobic comments do not reflect our community’s values, nor do they represent our beliefs in the Borough of Dumont,” he said in a statement.
