Editorially, the OC Register has not endorsed a presidential candidate since the last century. However, on the local level, they tend to endorse libertarian/conservative-leaning politicians. A review of op-eds indicates a reasonable balance, but more favor the right such as this Faulconer looks like the main GOP hope for a breakthrough. In general, the news is reported factually and with a right-leaning editorial bias.
