Huckleberries Online

Was Hux Quote Used w/o Attribution?

Question from Berry Picker: Did you notice that the Coeur d'Alene Press story cited information from Huckleberries Online without providing attribution. My guess is they edited out the attribution to not give you any credit. What do you think?

"Kennedy commented online after a recent Press article about the challenge, detailing the financial burden he has endured fighting his five-vote victory in court. 'My family is having to bear this burden simply because I won an election,' Kennedy wrote, calling Idaho's current political climate 'toxic' where winning a close election can put one at risk of getting sued. 'The city and county are not responsible for my legal bills, I am personally,' he wrote." Tom Hasslinger's story here.

DFO: I think you guessed right. But it's not that big of a deal. The story got out.
