California newspaper has endorsed Donald Trump
There's only one newspaper in California that has endorsed Donald Trump
Can you guess which one?

This weekend, the New York Times surprised no one by officially endorsing Hillary Clinton for President of the United States, joining nearly every other major American newspaper in recommending Clinton.
But one California newspaper went against the blue tide by boldly endorsing Donald Trump for President.
That paper? The already controversial Santa Barbara News-Press.
RE
Politico pointed out the California anomaly in its Monday morning newsletter. Not only is it Trump's only endorsement from a California paper, it's one of the few anywhere in the nation. So far, he's gotten official endorsements from the National Enquirer, New York Observer and New York Post.
Clinton has been endorsed by over 80 newspapers across the country.
Over the past decade, the newspaper has mostly made headlines for owner Wendy McCaw's many lawsuits.
The News-Press was bought by McCaw, ex-wife of early cellular communications pioneer Craig McCaw, in 2000.
Reporters and editors alleged improper interference by the ownership in editorial decisions, and in 2006, nine journalists resigned from the paper. They were all awarded the Ethics in Journalism Award by the Society of Professional Journalists.
In 2010, former News-Press editor Jerry Roberts was awarded over $900,000 after an arbitrator rejected the McCaw's claim that Roberts violated his employee contract by discussing McCaw's alleged newsroom meddling.
"Mrs. McCaw is capable of great vindictiveness and appears to relish the opportunity to wield her considerable wealth and power in furtherance of what she believes to be righteous causes," the arbitrator wrote.
The Times also notes McCaw has sued a magazine for a critical article about the paper's management, threatened to take legal action against a Santa Barbara hair salon that displayed an anti-McCaw sign, and was "involved in a protracted battle with the California Coastal Commission over allowing public beach access near her Hope Ranch estate."
In the 2012 Presidential election, 57.3% of Santa Barbara County voters voted for Barack Obama. Forty percent voted for Republican candidate Mitt Romney.
