Post national political editor
John F. Harris on the
Ben Domenech flap: "I think getting some conservative voices [on the Post's website] is a good thing, but I did not see why they hired someone so young and without obvious credentials, journalistic or otherwise." He adds: "I think the most useful opinion blogs analyze and comment on the news from some well-grounded perspective. That is what
Dan Froomkin does, and Dan is a long-time journalist. There's enough people on the web already just popping off from a strictly ideological perspective. I don't think washingtonpost.com adds much value by providing a platform for another." (Related
