Copy That

Apparently in response to criticism by the right over journalist Dan Froomkin's White House Briefing blog, the Washington Post caved and hired a right-wing blogger, Ben Domenech, to write a blog called, "Red America."

There was a great outcry on the left, since no equivalent "Blue America" blogger was hired, but even more significant was the fact that the left-wing blogs found persistent, clear evidence of plagarism by Domenech throughout his journalistic career, evidence that even those on the right who persist in making claims between an al Qaeda-Iraq link before 9/11 couldn't ignore.

As a result, it appears that Domenech has resigned today.

Personally, I find it particularly ironic that, given the fact that one of the arguments against the left is that it has no ideas compared to the right, Domenech apparently stole a lot of his material from Salon.com, a left-wing site.
