And in this process, Megan Kelly broke the first rule that they try to drill into you at journalism school: Do not ever, ever, ever allow yourself to become "the story."

Do they really teach that in journalism school?

Jorge Ramos must have been absent that day.

A television journalist participating in a debate is necessarily part of the story.

If Megyn Kelly turned out to be a big part of the story, that has more to do with Donald Trump's response than with her question.

Old Journalism School: The Story is: "Who, What, When, Where, and Why."

New Journalism School: The Story is: "Who, What, When, Where, and Why Not Me?"

How so???

An excellently-trained legal mind anticipated that she would "get" Trump, one way or the other, with her opening question. That is, she had an end in view from the first. (How does that comport with "fair and balanced" reporting?)

Even I could see in advance what his response would likely be to such a question. And I'm no lawyer.

I'd say that makes her a BIG part of this "story."

Jorge Ramos is not even a journalist. He is a proselytizer of the Reconquista school. In the referenced debate, Ramos simply barged in, using the usual thug tactics, after another journalist had already been called. Trump politely asked Ramos to get into line, for there was another journalist before him. Ramos did not take the hint, but continued to barrage Trump with questions, even after the other, recognized journalist began his question. Trump tried to tell him to calm down, wait for his turn. But Ramos would not relent.

So Trump had Ramos removed. For a time. Later, he brought him back in, to tell his "two-cent's-worth."

This scenario tends to show me that Trump is "tough," but "fair."

So, what's your problem with him, x???
