"Almost immediately the liberal blogosphere exploded with outrage over Domenech's hiring by the Post. But by Thursday bloggers had more than ideological reasons to oppose the Post's move, as he [http://www.first-draft.com/ plagiarized film critic Stephanie Zacharek], and [http://www.salon.com/ent/movies/review/1999/11/05/bachelor/index.html Mary Elizabeth Williams, writing about television]," Joe Conason [http://www.salon.com/opinion/conason/2006/03/24/domenech_blog/index.html reported] in ''Slate'' March 24, 2006. "As a college student Ben Domenech lifted arts criticism; as a [[GOP]] henchman, he was accused of fabricating a [[Tim Russert]] quote."
[[Dan Froomkin]] "Froomkin has spent a decade at the Post, and also worked for the ''Winston-Salem Journal'', the ''Miami Herald'' and the ''Orange County Register''. Froomkin is also deputy editor of niemanwatchdog.org, the web site of the Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University," ''E&P'' wrote.
"Whatever Froomkin's political views may be, he is a veteran reporter with a long résumé of newspaper jobs, including a decade at the ''Post''. Domenech is a partisan operative with no newsroom experience of any kind, no training in journalistic standards and ethics, and nothing to guide him except home schooling and [[Republican Party|Republican]] reflexes," Conason wrote.
