    Breitbart and Kellogg's At War With Each Other Now

    Not sure which side to believe, but it does appear that Kellogg's logic for pulling their ads from Breitbart is another attempt, by the Left to show its contempt for those who voted for Trump. Since Breitbart was rallying behind Trump, Kellogg's decided to get even by pulling its ads.

    Breitbart's claim:

    "Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alexander Marlow encouraged the boycott of Kellogg’s products, describing their war against Breitbart News as bigoted and anti-American: “Breitbart News is the largest platform for pro-family content anywhere on the Internet. We are fearless advocates for traditional American values, perhaps most important among them is freedom of speech, or our motto ‘more voices, not less.’ For Kellogg’s, an American brand, to blacklist Breitbart News in order to placate left-wing totalitarians is a disgraceful act of cowardice. They insult our incredibly diverse staff and spit in the face of our 45,000,000 highly engaged, highly perceptive, highly loyal readers, many of whom are Kellogg’s customers. Boycotting Breitbart News for presenting mainstream American ideas is an act of discrimination and intense prejudice. If you serve Kellogg’s products to your family, you are serving up bigotry at your breakfast table.”"

    Kellogg's response:

    We regularly work with our media-buying partners to ensure our ads do not appear on sites that aren’t aligned with our values as a company,” said Kellogg’s flak Kris Charles. “We recently reviewed the list of sites where our ads can be placed and decided to discontinue advertising on Breitbart.com. We are working to remove ads from that site.”

    Damn. And I liked some of Kellogg's products....Oh, well.

    I would like to know what on Breitbart does not align with their "company values".

    Tony the Tiger is no longer welcome in my house if Kellogg is going to be pulling this political crap. Does this make me some sort of racist?

    I would think that Kellogg's primary values would be to provide the best food possible to as many people as possible. But, since they feel they can do without 45,000,000 customers, then that's their choice.

    Anyway, why are they going political all of a sudden? As far as I'm concerned, Kellogg's has no business in the political ring. They should be concentrating on food, not politics.

    If they want to get all political, then I will, too. I'll buy less "political" food from now on.

    Hopefully, beer makers don't start going political, too.....

    Screw brand-name cereals anyway. All of them are a rip-off at $3-4 for a box of sugar. I get generic cereal for half the cost per ounce.

    Makes me wonder who their values are aligned with. But I have no dog in this fight but I will
    pass along info.
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    I'm not a big Yuengling fan but I'll be sure to buy their deuces instead of Budweiser when I'm reduced to gas station beer.
