Breitbart calls a Kellogg boycott in response to ad blacklist
Source: San Diego Union-Tribune
Up until Tuesday, the San Diego Zoo, the Kellogg Company, insurer Allstate, eyeglass business Warby Parker and a growing list of other brands were answering calls to stop advertising on Breitbart News, which has been accused of publishing controversial articles some deem racist and anti-Semitic.
Citing company values, Kellogg Company spokesman said on Tuesday it stopped advertising on the website as soon as it was alerted by consumers.
Breitbart News, whose former chairman Steve Bannon now serves as a chief adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, has been accused of publishing articles that appeal to white nationalists and anti-Semitic views by the Southern Poverty Law Center and other activists. The website has pushed back on the advertising blacklist by calling it un-American.
Breitbart News launched a website on Wednesday that essentially calls for a boycott of Kellogg products after the company, and other brands, announced a decision to stop advertising on the conservative-leaning site.

So if you buy cereal, I'd recommend buying Kelloggs.
We have to show them that sales go up, not down, when companies do the right thing and conservatives order a boycott.

Thanked them for dropping Breitbart and that I would seek out their brand in the future. The operator said they were getting a lot of negative calls, so it might be nice to give positive reinforcement.
