basically anti-fascist? Most people don't love dictators.

NYT readers would be anti-fascist, right? This distinction seems pretty arbitrary to me. (Unless you mean "anti-fascist" as tongue in cheek)

What other group will be influenced other than the choir? The choir will sing praises for one day. What other group will read this and say--"why, I guess I might be changed by those good words" The only effect that I see is a kinder, gentler attitude toward Walmart.

I'm open to another point of view, but thinking this pretty ad makes any diff to people who should be paying attention is far-fetched IMO. But change my mind--tell me who will get any benefit other than Walmart.

OK I realize this might be reported outside of the NYT -- beyond the choir-- (like where? In business journals?) but whether it brings about any attitudinal change? Hmm I haven't seen it. Maybe somebody who knows more about marketing than I do can explain the strategy behind this ad. I find the ad interesting, ie. a curiosity but not an attitude changer.
