So everybody confused about why the Toobin thing is not just a "whoopsie" or "a thing that could happen to anybody" - look at CNN's response, which is "Well, he's too important to our company to fire or discipline, so whaddayagonado, y'know?"
This is why it can't be "innocent".

I've never had a job where I wouldn't have been fired for masturbating on the clock, much less in view of coworkers. I know it's hard to quantify things like cable news stardom but at the point a network won't fire you? You're a star.
You remember Donald Trump saying "When you're famous, they let you do it," right? We all understand he wasn't talking about consent there, right? He was saying: if you're powerful, you get away with it.
That's predatory behavior.

Guys powerful enough to masturbate at work and not get fired are exactly the people who should not be masturbating at work. If he was Jeff the Intern, do we think he would have had any expectation of skating by? So maybe he shouldn't have done it.
I mean, nobody should be masturbating at work, excepting people being paid specifically to masturbate.
But for people powerful enough to buck that? The standards should be higher. The expectations should be higher.
