A Queen is Crowned?

Good grief. Not content to merely declare Megyn Kelly one of the winners of Thursday night's GOP presidential debate, the Washington Post now calls her "the start of the show."

What happened to the journalistic principles of not making the reporter or news organization part of the story, much less the centerpiece? Or is this a way to demean the rest of the Republican field who couldn't outshine the white, blonde, bombshell who was asking them questions? The focus on Kelly also has the fortunate side effect of brushing off uncomfortable questions about the appropriateness of Fox News' press releases mocking Donald Trump or exploring legitimate questions as to whether Fox moderators ask harder questions (or at least more incendiary) of certain candidates.

Maybe Megyn Kelly should throw her hat in the ring. She's got the full support of the national press.
