On The WaPo's Newest Blogger
The big picture about the importance of MSM hiring young conservative writers of talent is laid out with clarity by David Mastio over at Real Clear Politics. It explains why the Post was quite right to hire someone like Ben Domenech to be proprietor of its newest blog.
But Rick Moran (brother of ABC's Terry Moran, incidentally) levels some pretty serious charges of plagiarism against Domenech at The American Thinker.
It should be noted that Moran sources the charges to a Kos diarist (not the most reliable source, if you ask me). Likewise, some of the linked stories that Domenech is alleged to have plagiarised aren't dated, that I can see -- so it's not immediately apparent who copied whom.
Even so, for the sake of his credibility and the Post's, it seems appropriate that someone respond to these charges, so that Mr. Domenech can be cleared of all wrongdoing if the facts warrant it.

The link to American Thinker is bad: just goes back to the Real Clear Politics article. Here is the correct link.
