“Keep Both Hands On The Podcast!”
Jason Cousineau and Eric Renderking Fisk | October 28th, 2020
Jason Cousineau and Eric Renderking Fisk talk about Jeffrey Toobin and how his "accident" and how his "mishandling" of the situation during a Zoom meeting demonstrates exactly why you many NEVER see a Vlog for The Fedora Chronicles.
What does it mean to "War Game" the news and special events for Main Stream Media news, and how do these exercises prove all news - especially reactions to breaking new stories - are well-rehearsed and seem fake.
What's the real tragedy of Quibi shutting down, and how it's founders could have better spent those 2 Billion Dollars; we'll give you a hint - it rhymes with "Sponsor Up-And-Coming podcasts."
Another follow-up and more speculation about the origin of Hunter Biden's files that have been exploited by The New York Post.

Jeffery Toobin
CNN: Jeffrey Toobin suspended from New Yorker, on leave from CNN, after he exposed himself on Zoom call | By Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy, | October 20, 2020
Jeffrey Toobin, CNN's chief legal analyst and a renowned reporter for The New Yorker, has been sidelined at a pivotal moment in the run-up to the presidential election. The reason: He exposed himself during a Zoom call with colleagues in what he says was an accident. The New Yorker said that it had suspended Toobin following the incident, and said it was investigating the matter. The suspension was first reported by Vice on Monday. A spokesperson for CNN said "Jeff Toobin has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted."
USA Today: "During Zoom calls, keep your pants on: It’s not prudishness, it’s white male privilege New Yorker writer and CNN commentator Jeffrey Toobin was suspended for exposing himself on a Zoom call, but his punishment should have been worse."

There are many, many red flags in that New York Post investigation. NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik detailed most of them here. Intelligence officials warn that Russia has been working overtime to keep the story of Hunter Biden in the spotlight. Even if Russia can’t be positively connected to this information, the story of how Trump associates Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani came into a copy of this computer hard drive has not been verified and seems suspect. And if that story could be verified, the NY Post did no forensic work to convince consumers that the emails and photos that are the basis for their report have not been altered.
But the biggest reason you haven’t heard much on NPR about the Post story is that the assertions don’t amount to much.
“We don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories, and we don't want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions,” NPR Managing Editor for News Terence Samuel told me. “And quite frankly, that's where we ended up, this was … a politically driven event and we decided to treat it that way.”
The handful of stories that NPR has produced about the NY Post investigation have been limited to how Facebook and Twitter are restricting distribution of the story or how families of those seeking treatment for addiction are impacted by the portrayal of Hunter Biden's struggle. — Kelly McBride
