Facts surrounding past newspaper scandal that's familiar in SF? (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
golden gate
'familiar in sf?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'facts surrounding past newspaper scandal' is the wordplay.
'facts' becomes 'gen'.
'surrounding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'past newspaper' becomes 'old' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'scandal' becomes 'gate' (as in Watergate and other formations).
'gen' enclosing 'old' is 'golden'.
'golden'+'gate'='GOLDEN GATE'
'that's' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for golden gate that I've seen is " San Francisco bridge".)
