The News-Press and St. Joseph's News-Press must be viewed in the same light.

The News-Press had a Monday-Friday combined average circulation of 25,973, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulation Publisher's Statement dated March 31, 2011. (Santa Barbara)

St. Joseph has a circulation of 26,015.

We're screwed...almost 51,000 people read those papers.

... assuming each has one whole and complete brain ...

That is rural farm country in that area and is certainly populated by conservative farmers, but they also know a total fake when they see one. So, I'm a bit heartened to see the pushback.

2 very small papers all of a sudden decide to endorse Trump, in the midst of his free fall? Yeah sure. Sounds like something got done behind the scenes.

Her husband tried his best to talk them out of it, but to no avail. We all feel sick--they really are very nice people, but have gone off the rails on this one. Future communication is gonna be tough for me, but knowing the St. Joseph News-Press endorsed Trump might explain their decision. Doesn't matter--they will do what they choose, but my respect for them has pretty much plummeted. I'll get over it, I'm sure. Right now, totally bummed!

As for the Santa Barbara News-Press--double ugh!

I am saddened by this endorsement but I am not shocked. I went to high school in St. Joe and have very deep family roots there. It is a blue collar white working class town. Once upon a time, it was a very Democratic town but that began to change in the 90's; however, my 65 year old dad who voted for Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II is voting for Hillary (albeit not with much enthusiasm ). St. Joseph is a very depressing city and has been for years now. This is one more reason I'm happy to be in San Diego now.

Where the hell have they been the past few months?
The number one thing he's demonstrated so far is that he will never work with his party.

Sheesh!

Or any other garbage for that matter.

And I don't remember it being conservative. Plus, more people in Santa Barbara read the LA Times than the News-Supress

“We endorse Trump for president in the belief he can bring about fundamental change — not alone, but in partnership with his party and a coalition of others drawn from every walk of life...."

Trump has proven he is unable to work with anyone - the Republican leadership for example, the media for example. As for "others drawn every walk of life," he has mocked, insulted or threatened people from every walk of life, from fellow billionaires, to Muslims, Mexicans, women, people of color, people with disabilities. I repeat, the editors must be F###ing idiots.

I no longer know or care what the circulation is, because it no longer includes us. She got rid of their oldest and best reporters, some being escorted out under guard. It went on and on.

Well, enough. The original family-owned newspaper was known for having done some crucial investigative journalism regarding the John Birch Society, but that was long long ago.

It was a stain on what was once a decent newspaper.

Everyone in SB was up in arms about it.

Oh, forget that. It was already pink: Frump's still up 5 ev's.

So it didn't snag him any more votes than he already had.

Maybe they will endorse a candidate for the first time.

It will be very fitting when CA hands Donny his ass on a platter on Nov 8th.

admitted sexual predator, racist, and all around hate-monger. Not to mention trump comes off as stupid as a sack of shite.

MAD and CRACKED are considered newspapers these days.

What an embarrassment.
