Question for you. There is a paragraph in this story that is a quote from the director of the historical society. Since these are not the words of the author, can this be excerpted?.

Is that a trick question?

Everybody knows that reporters rewrite the quotes.

What can be done is for someone to create their own website. Rewrite the article, add some detail and perspective and then post from there.

Example: Major news outlets are reporting that some groups have taken offense to art being recreated as bobbleheads.

In one report, news accounts quote Sir Overly Sensitve as saying he considers it blasphemy. Next thing you know they will be making bobble heads of Christ in a jar of urine as we have on display over here.”

and so on...
