I wanted to see how Elizabeth Warren did in her debate, so I googled Boston papers. Boston Globe wanted me
to sign up so I clicked on Boston Herald. Feel like I need a shower. Very misogynistic posts and I didn't realize
being from Harvard was held up for scorn. Seemed they loved Brown's charm (gag me), talking rudely about E. Warren's looks (because she doesn't look like a Playboy bunny). Felt like I was reading some rag from the slave states instead of a newspaper from Boston. Very naive of me, thinking comments would be more erudite instead of so crude.

They've always been a batshit-crazy rightwing rag.
