Prominently displayed on Breitbart.com is a petition to boycott Kellogg's for deciding not to advertise on their website anymore because they're "not aligned with our values as a company". Are you going to sign it? And do you feel like it will hurt Kellogg's in the long run? Also, feel free to add any consumer product that you boycott for political reasons.

I don't buy Kellogg's products anyway, but I used to buy Ben and Jerry's ice cream at least once a week and don't anymore because of their support for BLM.

kelloggs refused to use my wife and i's tomatoes in their cereal so i boycotted them long ago
 
So some neigh conspiracy rag is upset that Kellogg's won't advertise on their site, so they want to boycott them?

I don't think it will hurt Kellogg's, who the hell would even get their news from Breitbart anyway? The Onion is far more reliable and truthful.

Over 358,000 people have signed it so far.
 
If I were going to boycott Kellogg's, it sure wouldn't have a thing to do with Breitbart.

Meanwhile, I'll be eating my bowl of Mini-Wheats every morning, like always.

LOL! The 'boycott' is already blowing up in their faces with even more advertisers pulling their money out.

Sucker born every minute I suppose. It's dumb to boycott Kellogg's over this. Breitbart is just upset at the loss of potential ad revenue and are retaliating. That's it, nothing more than that. But if one wants to boycott Kellogg's over that, they can. Completely stupid, I cannot fathom the depths of alt-right partisanship one has to fall to in order to engage in this sort of behavior, but clearly that number isn't zero. But Kellogg's isn't going to be hurt over it, and I doubt that the 358,000 will all actually boycott Kellogg's. They're the world's second largest snack food company, they make so many things that people probably don't even realize is made by Kellogg's.

There's likely a good portion of the 358,000 that won't put the leg work into the boycott and think all Kellogg's does is cereal.

There should be, but if you got right to their main page, it's up on the side. They're really upset about this, lol.

If anything, I'd start eating more Kellogg's products because of this. Breitbart is a horrible waste of everything.

I couldn't give less of a **** about Breitbart or their problems. I don't even like Kellogg's in the first place.

You'll actually see it as soon as you enter Breitbart.com. Many sources have covered it but I decided to leave it up to you to go to the source you trust the most, as most of them have political leanings. I would just google "Breitbart Kellogg's" and you'll see a variety of different sources covering it.
 
I will not be boycotting Kelloggs because they don't want to advertise with someone. Kelloggs has a right to advertise with anyone they choose. I do like their Special K with Strawberries and I'll continue buying it regardless of who doesn't like it.

Curious. If Kellogg wanted to stop advertising on Brietbart, why didn't they just "stop advertising"?

Seems Kellogg didn't really need to make a political statement in conjunction with the move. Unless they were in the market for generating some headlines.


Sometimes this all gets soooo confusing.

Is Kellogg's a main source of Breitbart's ad revenue or something? Is that why they are going crazy over this?
 
All this could have been predicted with logic. Liberalism will be stopped word wide. Trump supporters has the most money and now will destroy liberals world wide All liberal companies will be boycotted world wide. Liberal Catholics wil be stopped also. Trump Russia and China stopping liberals world wide. Fake liberal news wil be boycotted and will die

You and logic remain hilariously unacquainted.

I feel the same way, and this is why Breitbart is fighting back. I've read somewhere, although I'm not sure if this is true or not, that leftist organizations are pressuring advertisers with lists that show them working with racist, sexist, homophobe, etc...organizations, basically anything that has to do with right wing, so that people in general will boycott them. Sooo, Kellogg's probably felt like they had to pick a side and now they have at least 358,000 people pledging not to buy their products. I'm with you, I thought they should've just dropped Breitbart without a statement if they really felt the need to.
 
See the Italy vote? That is stopping the liberal Catholics. Liberal companies world wide will be boycotted and thAt will stop liberalism world wide
 
Once boycotting starts. Dominoes will fall quickly to stop liberal companies. Trumps supporters with the money. Russia and China will also stop liberal companies
