6. Is it true Ghomeshi is talented? Yes. But his talent has been amply celebrated over the decades. Was this the time to celebrate?

12. Kay's column is a gushing, fannish, celebrity worshiping account of Ghomeshi.

13. From the Star article, there was plausible reason to think that alleged culture of abuse around Ghomeshi rooted in celebrity worship.
