Kelloggs vs Breitbart... seriously.

Source: Marketwatch

Kelloggs basically said they were no longer going to advertise on Breitbart due to "values disconnect." (the article made that one) However, Breitbart of course did not take this kindly and pushed for a boycott, one of them being a #DumpKelloggs hashtag.

Thoughts on this? I clicked the Twitter hashtag and it's quite a show.

Acting like little children I see.

Never a good idea regardless of what the hashtag is.

Wow, what a bunch of babies. Calling for a boycott because someone doesnt want to work for you, how low can you go.

As long as they don't start harassing individual Kelloggs employees, troll away trolls.

Seems like a reason to eat Kellogg's actually.

@LJS9502_basic:

Frosted Flakes and Apple Jacks? =)

Kelloggs entered a consensual agreement, as did Breitbart. Either party is free to leave, so I dont know what the people of Breitbart are bitching about.

What are Kelloggs values? Killing people with sugary carbs?

Well it looks like I'll be purchasing some Kellogg's products then.

WFT is breitbart?

I hope they do the same for Huff Post.

I agree. Time to eat some Pop Tarts.

A conservative news site that it's former head (who's appointed Trump's strategist) calls "a platform for the alt-right."

so wait, breitfart readers want MORE ads on the site?? it's already an ad shitshow

Find a happy place. =P

Guess I have to start buying Kellogg's then.

Do they have anything like Honey bunches of oats?

Toaster Strudels are better, also General Mills has better tasting cereal

And it turns out this "values" based cereal company are purveyors of child slave labor. Pot. Kettle. Black.

Nope, Kelloggs still suck

Bitching about things is literally the entire point of Breitbart.

I hadn't heard of it either until Clinton started ranting about it. So I checked it out and it is the best conservative news site on the internet. If it sucked the left wouldn't care about it, but it doesn't ... far from it ... and that's why it scares the hell out of them. Best way to describe it is "conservatism with balls". They are totally hostile to the pc crowd (Who soooooo deserve it!) and don't shy away from saying what needs to be said. Thanks for letting me know about it, Hillary. :)

Breitbitch? Bitchbart?

I heard that ESPN lost over 500k subscribers and Breitbart supports the boycott.

I guess they thought they could do the same with Kelloggs.

There are conservative news sources and there are liberal news sources, but Breirbart spews a disproportionate amount of hate and doesn't even try to be objective. Their top article right now is about how effective their boycott has been since they announced it. Awesome.

@FireEmblem_Man: "also General Mills has better tasting cereal"

Very debatable.

Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch are the best cereals ever!

Blasphemy! Frosted Flakes is king.

Ewww..... That's disgusting! :P

The point is over you head dude........

Well this explains a lot.........

I looked at the site today, what an absurd echo chamber. The mere fact that the site is saying Kelloggs holds 45 million readers in contempt is some high level bitching and moaning.

Yeah, if it was just a page with giant letters saying "Anyone who disagrees with leftist doctrine is a racist, misogynist, xenophobe, fascist, and homophobe!" then it'd be fabulous and highly informative.

No. Anyone who's seen me post in OT probably realizes that I'm liberal and my social policies lean left. However, I dislike fake news echo chambers on both sides. I read sites like AddictingInfo before, and the article headline might be something that would appeal to my values, but after reading the article I would usually be left thinking "WTF was that? It was all OpEd with no real or useful facts or data" so I stopped reading those as well.

I would say, however, that Brietbart in particular is one of the worst that isn't some straight up KKK propaganda or misogynist paper. I can look at a lot of conservative viewpoints and say "Okay, while I don't agree with you I can at least understand where you're coming from." BBs articles go way beyond that.

Breitbart is so bad, even some right wingers dont like them.

@FireEmblem_Man: Mini-Wheats, Raisin Bran, Special K Vanilla Almond , and Special K Red Berries look tasty.

They even have one with chocolate and almonds.

Well, of course. Traditional Republicans are globalists, pro immigration for cheap labor, pro free trade to fatten up investors, etc. Breitbart represents a new kind of conservatism that is less keen on immigration and is more pro worker. Additionally, the old kind is scared shitless of pc dogma and kneels at the altar of it, the new breed fights and attacks it. Gonna be clashes for sure and there has been. But I suspect that seeing that blue wall come crumbling down is going to get some of the traditionalists on-board.

Can't beat the media.

Unless you're Trump.

@crimsonbrute: "Blasphemy! Frosted Flakes is king."

lol, have you tried the ones with marshmallows? I haven't yet but I'm tempted.

The company's products are crap, anyway. Even the supposedly healthy breakfast cereals are just empty carbohydrates.

Besides, everybody knows that hamburgers are the cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast ...

Meh, they're overrated, are you health conscious?

People still eat cereal? Don't what is worse. corn flakes or having to read Breitbart. Bleh.

They're the SJWs of the right. I follow them for the lolz.

“That is as un-American as it gets.”

Actually, it isn't. This is Kelloggs exercising its very first amendment right, the same amendment right that Breitbart is exercising by printing news that's driving companies away.

Projecting dualism, the tool of the moron. Congrats. I dont support msnbc, addicting info, cnn or any of the other fake news outlets. They are not news outlets, but propaganda machines. I hate to break it to your simplistic fashion, but one can be against neo cons and racists on the right, whilst hating the facist thought controlling sjws who claim to be on the left and support liberal principles. It really is possible.....

@hillelslovak: Please leave out the personal insults.

Well, good. I was wondering that Kellogg's is making a good move in disowning this bigotry, racism, sexism and transphobia that is Breitbart, which claims to be "Christian" but in fact is doing the opposite of what Christ intended.

looks like kelloggs upset the precious snowflakes over @ breitbart

maybe a safe space and some puppies will help them deal w/ the trauma

If Breitbart.com is dependent in any measure on revenue from corporate advertisers, then it's probably just another establishment mouthpiece masquerading as an anti-establishment site.

Information Clearing House, on the other hand, has never resorted to advertisements to generate revenue, has never operated on a "for profit" basis and almost invariably struggles to cover its operating expenses each month---circumstances that burnish its credentials as a site dedicated to TRUTH.
