I just recently posted a comment to the article "6 Idyllic Getaways That You Won't Believe Are in the Midwest" that said Madeline Island was in Minnesota waters on Lake Superior. I read further and found another mistake and I tried post another comment and was rejected. I wrote this.

Parade magazine needs to have, as an old boss of mine would say, "a moment of alignment" with their writer Ms. Claire Gallam. She writes, "Beaver Island, perched in the northernmost waters of Lake Michigan, is as close to Canada as you can get." AGAIN, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? Beaver Island is in Lake Michigan and is the only Great Lake entirely within the United States. No part of Lake Michigan touches Canada. In fact, there is about 70 miles of Lake Michigan and the Upper Peninsula between Beaver Island and Canada. Does she mean that there are no American islands closer to Canada? Wrong again, there are only about 60 American islands closer to Canada including Mackinac, Garder, Hog, St. Helena, Drummond and Bois Blanc just to name a few. Is this incompetence, or just laziness? Or is this AI? In which case the intelligence isn't just artificial, it is nonexistent.

My point is, that this kind of reporting (notice I didn't say journalism) is a joke. So, who is reviewing the comments? Is it AOL or is it Parade? My comments are accurate and fair. Ms Gallam of Parade should be embarrassed by not taking two minutes using Google to fact check her article.
