I don’t watch television, and I don’t know anything about the “Karen Read Trial” because I honestly do not care.

But, my wife does watch television, and every time I walk by, it seems like there is a big “THE KAREN READ TRIAL” splash screen up there.

It is disgusting and unseemly, but...that is the media today. It is why I avoid them like the plague.

Probably one of the more corrupt towns in Mass.

Which is pretty impressive given the competition for most corrupt town is pretty stiff in that God forsaken state.
