Ben Domenech Resigns

Red America is no more.

A 4 day run at the post for Ben Domenech ended today when he resigned from the staff.

Jim Brady Editor writes at Red America today:

"In the past 24 hours, we learned of allegations that Ben Domenech plagiarized material that appeared under his byline in various publications prior to washingtonpost.com contracting with him to write a blog that launched Tuesday.
An investigation into these allegations was ongoing, and in the interim, Domenech has resigned, effective immediately."




So the question for me is now...is this true or could the Post not deal with its own rabid readers and their excrement laddened comments?


UPDATE: Captain Ed of Captain's Quarters has more and some poinant insight.
Michelle Malkin also weighs in on this debacle. In which it appears that my question is now moot and Ben should resign.
