Media outlets offer bizarre defenses for CNN star Jeffrey Toobin amid masturbation scandal

[shockedcanadian]

Media telling CNN and media to basically "tune it out" is what you get with those who feign principle, until it's one of their "champions". A Canadian paper called out, at that.

I've already read people online telling people to go "Toobin themselves". His name has become a verb in short order.

Several media outlets are raising eyebrows for offering what appears to be defenses of CNN star Jeffrey Toobin, who is taking time off from the network after he was suspended from The New Yorker for allegedly masturbating during a Zoom call with colleagues.

Toronto Star columnist Vinay Menon wrote that Toobin "didn't cover himself in glory ‒ or regrettably, anything else ‒ in that fateful Zoom call, but CNN and his country need him."

"Now, look. I do not want to minimize any possible trauma experienced by anyone on that video chat... But we need to keep perspective. We need to see the big picture," Menon wrote. "Granted, there are few things more unprofessional than masturbating during a company meeting. Toobin is a lawyer. His judgment is now suspect. I get it. All I'm saying is we need to forget this ever happened. Block it out."

Menon urged The New Yorker to "end this investigation" into Toobin's misconduct and for CNN to "rescind" his leave of absence since "his service is urgently required."

"Here’s the thing: I don’t care if Jeffrey Toobin has demons. I don’t care if he’s a weirdo or a pervert. I don’t care if he fondles himself 20 times a day while wearing a sun hat and listening to Mozart," the Toronto Star columnist continued. "What I care about is his brain and his analytic skills. He made an embarrassingly stupid mistake. Let’s leave it at that and get on with saving America."

The Hill media reporter Joe Concha called such defenses "the very best of unintentional comedy."

"The Toronto Star argues we need Jeffrey Toobin? Pretty sure there isn't a shortage of partisan attorneys on TV," Concha singled out the Canadian newspaper to Fox News.

I don’t care what the idiot does in privacy. But if you are doing that kind of thing during a phone call or video chat it shows a serious lack of character and judgment. As far as anyone needing the loon, I don’t think so. I don’t think he is going to save anything, nor is he indispensable.
You can bet if Trump or one of his family had been the one doing it it would be on every network 24/7. They would be calling for a death.

Oh yes, before I heard the following defense from the media.

"People do it all the time"

I call it the Joe Biden defense. The excuse for why he sniffs children and has child porn on his laptop.... people do that shit all the time, it was normal back then I tell you.

Nothing wrong with jerking off.

But doing it during a meeting shows something seriously wrong. Anywhere else would get you fired not suspended

He will get a standing ovation at the next HollyWierd Self Awards Ceremony that nobody watches anymore.

The fact that he has so little self control as a 60 year old man is quite unique. The guy simply HAD to relieve himself during a video chat? I wonder if he had ever had any zoom calls with CNN staff or Jeff Zucker in the past. If so, did he humiliate his boss during such calls as well?

There's something beyond what it is at face value, there is something psychological about his actions. Maybe his disdain for his colleagues, or some odd suppressed fetish that had to play out and the pandemic is giving him the opportunity. Who knows.

As you said, nobody cares if he draws communist flags on his ass with a marker on his own time, but, he shouldn't be doing it during a multi-way video chat and for all to witness.

Then the poor guy goes BACK onto the call, unaware his colleagues, some of them female; saw him flagging the bishop just moments earlier. I suppose I should feel sorry for him, if it wasn't so self induced, and he wasn't such a major public figure.

I highly doubt Biden has such stuff on his laptop. In fact, even if someone were a sicko, they'd have to be really naive to think they could view images or video without it being traced to their laptop or IP.

It's criminal behaviour that is impossible to hide and I'm always suspicious when such stuff is found on someones laptop or drive, especially if they are politicians or someone who rocks the boat.

Maybe Jeffrey Onan Toobin lost track and thought he was at a Zoom appointment with his Pecker Checker? When you are locked down in your domicile, its sometimes tough to remember the day of the week as fellows doing time in the Florence Penitentiary can tell you.

Maybe he should change his surname to Tube-in'?

Anyone beaten with the ugly stick as severely as Tooby should at least get a tiny break. Or not.
