“There’s really no good reason to tie the story to Walmart, other than everybody enjoying hating Walmart. “

There are even some Walmart bashing articles on vox.com

Please link to the offending site so we can get the ‘rest of the story’.

I went to Vox.com and saw nothing as described in this article. It may be targetted advertising (and if you hear the dog whistle, then you’re the dog!} on a news aggregator, with WalMart having no control over content.

The international and SK forces pushed the NorKs (and Chinese I guess) back to the north they found mass graves, men, women, children all lined up with their hands bound and all of the shot in the head.

Or maybe that was when they pushed out Japan.

My history is still ten times more accurate that theirs. lol.

And so far, it only looked like weak knees towards P.C. pressure. Someone please say that Walmart isn’t promoting this level of nonsense, that someone made a mistake.

Vox.com has several brands including SB Nation. Walmart may have a package deal to put ads on all.

Does “sponsored” maybe only mean “Bought ads upon”?

Eisenhower brought about the cease fire by using the threat of nuclear weapons use and the negotiating table at Panmunjom to squeeze a deal out of the Communists.

The Norks learned from that and use those tactics now making threats, calling for negotiations and developing nukes to make their threats more credible......

They might still stand to be reminded what’s on the place where they are advertising.

I have no idea. No one has linked the offending site.

32,000 tons of incendiaries.

Tokyo - one night - 200+ bombers X 10 tons = 2000 tons. There were 14 such raids, or 28,000 tons of incendiaries, mostly napalm, dropped on Tokyo alone. 67 Japanese cities were burned this way.

Let’s not count the power of Fat Man and Little Boy...

I find their numbers suspect.

So Walmart is not supposed to advertise on any site that hosts an opinion piece that someone finds objectionable? And they are responsible for all the content of the site? That’s nuts.

I would like to see the offending page. I just accessed SB Nation (owned by vox.com) and I got targeted ads based on my previous web searches.

If it had a history or reputation of keeping this kind of thing up, they might reconsider whether ads here are a good idea.

“You do have a history of cutesiness. Here’s the article “

NO WALMART AD!

What I got was an AMERICAN MUSCLE ad. A targeted ad based on my recent on-line purchases and activity.

Oh wow you are cutesy. That is why your credibility is zero.

A simple search shows that VOX is a privately held company. Walmart may have a banner ad that pops up. Haven’t seen one yet. I’ve seen Best Buy, Yum Brands and a few others.

This is just targeted attacking of Walmart and completely misleading. Also, it is a blog. A blog is an Op Ed. Not factual news with reliable sources. Just some dudes opinion.
