Kellogg to join others in removing advertising on Breitbart

>>88652
The tolerant left harassing cereal companies not to advertise their product to people they don't like.

>>88652
>never even saw one of their ads
oh well.

>>88695
Who has to harrass? They're more than willing.

They're doing it because Breitbart is worse than Gawker.

>>88718
>They're doing it because Breitbart is worse than Gawker.
People actually believe this.

>>88746
They believe it because it happens to be true.

>>88749
>They believe it because it happens to be true.
Which is why Gawker is going bankrupt via civil settlement and Breitbart is... not.

Have fun your fantasy world there friend.

>Other brands have also pulled ads on Breitbart, including Allstate, Nest, EarthLink, Warby Parker and SoFi, according to Digiday. Last week, AppNexus deactivated Breitbart News after an audit of the site’s content determined that it violates the advertising network ban on hate speech.

>Some of Breitbart’s most controversial stories have had referred to “Muslim invaders”, and a “Renegade Jew” and said “Women Should Log Off” the internet if they face online harassment. Breitbart Chief Executive Officer Larry Solov told Reuters last week the company “always and continues to condemn racism and bigotry in any form.”

in what reality

>>88775
In this reality. Maybe you'd better check which side has the most elderly christian boomers who want to take away people's rights.

>>88775
its called sarcasm.

Does advertising on a site a bunch of twats on twitter take offence to ACTUALLY effect the company? They don't support Breitbart, they PAY for space to SELL their shit. A boycott for someone or some product is announced literally every other day because, surprise surprise, everyone is connected these days and getting 2000 bored people to click "yes" on Fbook or Twitter is completely trivial compared to getting that same number of physical signatures back in the day.

>>88810
Protip: it isn't just SJWs on twitter.

Breitbart isn't some sort of paragon of journalism worthy of defending; it's the modern equivalent of The New York Herald announcing that the Spanish blew up the U.S.S. Maine.

>>88812
I'm not defending Breitbart, I'm talking about the general reaction of boycotting a company which has an advertisement deal (which is NOT the same as a donation) with something people disagree with.
If Kellogg's cereal suddenly started to contain Asbestos, fuck yeah that's worthy of a boycott, do you know what I mean?

>>88762
earthlink is still around. anyway this guy is samefaggin too hard. fuck kellogs I'll get my diabetes somewhere else from now on.

>>88828
fair point

This exact thing has happened before lots of times. It isn't just a case of the alt-left trying to silence its opposition; companies like Kellogg just don't like controversy and try not to associate themselves with controversy - and breitbart is and has always been controversial.

What kind of /pol/ meme is this?

>>88840
it's not a pol meme, they've already begun to use it themselves

>>88840
/pol/lack her. Sorry to spoonfeed on a Kelloggs thread.
/pol/'s memes are ctrl-left and shift-libertarians.

>>88846
>it's not a pol meme,
The term was apparently coined by Sean Hannity
>they've already begun to use it themselves
Who is "they"?

Breitbart does not have the kind of audience that can pull off a boycott that would even dent Kelloggs stock price. If the food-stamp left countered with a buycott, Kelloggs might even come out a winner on the social media front for pulling out of that bad old Breitbart.
