40. Poor nit-wit Jake is, in fact, a "poser", an unserious person through and through.

He and nearly every video news cast personality has a predictable on-air pose. Often a lifted eyebrow or clenched jaw and, for extreme dramatic effect and screen presence, a seething glare. I give you every top paid live camera desk jockey of the current millennia. From the up-and-coming bright neo-liberal star of the moment to the thoroughly disgusted-and-tried-and-true Hannity wannabe du jour.

"Life is but a stage and we are but players upon it", so goes the observation attributed to W. Shakespeare. News corporations, decades ago, realized that punctuation, especially the dramatically impactful and "hard-hitting" sort, was valuable to ratings and their bottom lines. We are observing that stage of news broadcast where the facts about the daily happenings in our world are relegated to the back seat, upstaged by presentation and, thus, the presenters with their predictable facial expressions which are so disingenuous, they're laughable. But then, we are, at best, a vapid crowd of hero starved and sexy-spin seeking sheep, arguing and fretting about the contradictions and other scripted drivel spewing from the mouths of animated celebrity mannequins set to pose for the highest bidders.
