The Half Moon Bay Review falsely claims they “broke” the Wavecrest frog story

In an editorial in today’s Review, Debra Godshall writes,

In early July, the Review broke the story of the red-legged frog sighting at Wavecrest that all but derailed the Wavecrest Village project just days after the city had signed an agreement with Wavecrest Partners.

Actually, Coastsider broke the story on July 19.  Two days later, on July 21, the Review followed our lead with a report skeptically titled "Biologist reportedly discovers red-legged frog in Wavecrest".  Even then, the nasty adverb "reportedly" intimated that the biologist, whom their reporter spoke to, might be lying. The Review didn’t "break" the story and it didn’t happen in "early July".
