Copy Editor Needed -- The Key Word being "Copy"

Washington Post red-faced over "Red State" blogger they hired to write "Red America" blog.

Shoulda "red" his writing -- he resigned over plagiarism charges.

From washingtonpost.com Exective Editor Jim Brady:
"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."

Mr Domenech is out. Copy that. (WashPost)
