Thoughts on Zoom Misconduct

| Okay, guys, you won't see me do this often, but you have to watch this clip from CNN. Yes, I actually said it. | |
| The Communist News Network, you gotta watch this clip. | |
| They brought back Jeffrey Toobin seven months after he got caught doing a little something-something on a Zoom call. | |
| Now, his defense, he thought the Zoom... | |
| Video was off, which made it okay apparently to masturbate while in a meeting with your work colleagues. | |
| This is CNN, folks. | |
| Watch this. I guess I'll recap. | |
| I'll do the honors. Help yourself. | |
| Okay. In October, you were on a Zoom call with your colleagues from the New Yorker magazine. | |
| Everyone took a break for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating on camera. | |
| You were subsequently fired from that job after 27 years of working there. | |
| And you, since then, have been on leave from CNN. Do I have all that right? | |
| You got it all right. | |
| Sad to say. Okay, so let's start there. | |
| To quote Jay Leno, what the hell were you thinking? | |
| Well, obviously I wasn't thinking very well or very much and it was something that was inexplicable to me. | |
| I think one point, I wouldn't exactly say in my defense because nothing is really in my defense, I didn't think I was on the call. | |
| I didn't think other people could see me. | |
| You thought that you had turned off your camera? | |
| Correct. I thought that I had turned off the Zoom call. | |
| Now, that's not a defense. | |
| This was deeply moronic and indefensible. | |
| But, I mean, that is part of the story. | |
| And, you know, I have spent the seven subsequent months, miserable months in my life, I can certainly Confess. | |
| Trying to be a better person. | |
| I mean, in therapy, trying to do some public service, working in a food bank, which I certainly am going to continue to do, working on a new book. | |
| Well, guys, I'm glad he had seven months to think about it. | |
| He's working at a food kitchen to make him realize that maybe, maybe playing with yourself while at work on a Zoom call, whether the video is on or off, is in fact wrong. | |
| Probably not a great idea. | |
| I mean, you know, during the lockdown, Jeffrey, wasn't there plenty of other time throughout the day where you weren't on a Zoom call where you could take care of yourself? | |
| I mean, I would think that you'd be able to make some time. | |
| Between CNN and The New Yorker, you're not that busy, okay? | |
| You guys put out a lot of garbage. | |
| It doesn't take much to come up with this crap. | |
| So, I think you'd be able to do it a little bit better. | |
| I think you'd be able to hold off just a few minutes till that Zoom call ended, but I'm glad you're figuring it out. | |
| I'm glad you're realizing now that it was wrong to not just hold off for a couple minutes for the Zoom call to end, that you could just turn off the cameras and listen to your coworkers as you pleasure yourself. | |
| And I hope... | |
| I hope that they see this and just have that visual of what you were doing while listening to their voices, trying to get, I assume, create whatever propaganda CNN is going to put up next on while you're doing that. | |
| Because I'm not sure that's something that I could ever get out of my mind. | |
| That'd be a swing thought that would haunt me for the rest of my life if I was your coworkers. | |
| And I surely hope they don't think about that each and every time you're on the air, buddy. | |
| Keep up the good work. | |
| We need more like you in this business. | |
| It makes everyone else realize how big a clowns the media truly is. | |
