OMG - It's SuperPooper Traitor Greene vs. the Evil Genius Wal Mart!

[Ms. Toad]

30. Did I say I didn't care about store identification - or product placement?

What I said I cared about was confirmation bias - our growing tendency to skip fact checking if the "facts" fits our confirmation bias. We want her to be making crap up, so we assume she is and don't do basic fact checking.

Whether she properly identified the location of the store&& or where Walmart places its products is irrelevant to whehter we're swallowing whatever we want to believe hook, line, and sinker.

** The products are not in a clearance rack (despite the suggestion in the thread below the picture) - the shelf-tags aren't mark-down prices, and all chidren's toothbrushes are in the same aisle (see below).

** There is nothing to suggest the photo was photo-shopped. No obvious change in color or pixelation, no sharp lines, no shadows going the wrong way. The shelves holding the vibrators stick out farther than the toothbrushes because that's how shelves work.

** And less than 5 minutes on the Walmart site will give you the exact location of the items (all children's toothbrushes - not just those on clearance) and at least one of the vibrators from the image (I didn't check all of the vibrators) are housed on aisle G12.

&&ETA: I don't see any reference in her tweet or Filipkowski's to Dalton CO, and MTG is the representative from the District in GA which includes Dalton.
