Ben Domenech Career
His career kick-started as a teenager when he began a column, Any Given Sunday, for National Review Online (NRO), in addition to his personal blog. The NRO column reviewed political talk shows on television.
He went to the College of William and Mary somewhere in between 1999 and 2002. Subsequent to getting an offer of employment from the US Department of Health and Human Services, he left William and Mary before his senior year.
Domenech was the most youthful political representative of the George W. Shrub organization. He worked as a speech specialist for Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson.
He worked as a contributing editorial manager for National Review Online; two years as the central speech specialist for Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX); and a manager at Regnery Publishing, where he dealt with books by Michelle Malkin, Ramesh Ponnuru, and Hugh Hewitt.
In March 2006, Domenech was named as a blogger for The Washington Post, where he would compose from a moderate perspective. On March 21, 2006, just three days after his arrangement, Domenech surrendered his position, when proof surfaced that he had before appropriated work that had initially shown up in The New Yorker, The Washington Post, the National Review, and different distributions.
The Post responded that it didn’t think about his counterfeiting when the paper procured him. Jim Brady, the-then official editorial manager of Washingtonpost.com, said he would have terminated Domenech had he not first offered to stop on the grounds that the claims of literary theft made it important to “separate the relationship.”
Domenech wrote numerous columns for Human Events and for The Washington times during the 2008 election. During the 2012 election, Domenech commented extensively on social and economic issues related to Occupy Wall Street for the Heritage Foundation.
He took part in the American Enterprise Institute’s roundtable “Fusion or Fissures” regarding the future of American Conservatism. In the 2012 presidential election, after Mitt Romney’s failed campaign, Domenech was called upon to discuss the Republican Party’s failure to breach the “Digital Divide” for Commentary as well as the Heritage Foundation.
Domenech was the managing editor of healthcare policy at the Heartland Institute. He also posts on RedState and has a personal blog, “this is an adventure”.
Ben Domenech Controversies
Plagiarism
The Washington Post’s online arm hired Domenech to write a blog providing “a daily mix of commentary, analysis, and cultural criticism”. The choice was criticized by Media Matters for America, claiming that ” there were, however, no progressive bloggers—and no one left of center with the credentials of a political operative—on washingtonpost.com to provide balance to Domenech.”
The Instapundit founder Glenn Reynolds, told the New York Times that Domenech’s appointment attracted anger “because he was a conservative and he was given real estate at The Washington Post” and this drove bloggers to find “something they could use to get rid of him.”
On March 21, 2006, Red America was launched but Domenech resigned three days later after only six posts after other bloggers posted evidence that Domenech had plagiarized work from the Washington Post, The New Yorker, humorist P. J. O’Rourke, and several other writers.
P.J. denied the claim by Ben that the humorist had granted permission to use his words, adding that he could not recall ever meeting the college student.
Domenech’s college newspaper editors, The Flat Hat, denied allegations by Domenech that one instance of plagiarism was because the editors had “inserted a passage from The New Yorker in an article without his knowledge,” saying that “Mr. Domenech’s actions, if true, [were] deeply offensive.”
On March 24, 2006, the editors of the National Review confirmed on its blog The Corner that Domenech appeared to have plagiarized for at least one article he had written for that publication. Jim Brady, Washington Post’s online editor announced Domenech’s resignation saying “an investigation into these allegations of plagiarism was ongoing, and in the interim, Domenech has resigned, effective immediately.”
After initially denying the plagiarism allegations, Domenech apologized, writing in a RedState post entitled “Contrition,” that “there is no excuse for this… I hope that nothing I’ve done as a young person or in my professional life will reflect badly on the movement and principles I believe in.”
The Federalist
