Brands advertising on Breitbart have drawn flak in recent weeks, with activists saying the website espouses racist and anti-Semitic views. A screen shot showing an advertisement for Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats was part of an online campaign to get marketers to abandon the site.
“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 Kris Charles, a spokeswoman for Kellogg, which also makes Frosted Flakes and Special K cereal. “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 our ads from that site.”
AppNexus, one of the biggest digital advertising services, barred Breitbart from using its ad-serving tools earlier this month because, it said, the publisher violated its hate-speech rules.

I remember camping as a kid when we learned you could wrap potatoes and corn in tin foil and cook them in the embers, we devoured those too. Tasted better than when mom made them in the kitchen!

I’m just glad they don’t make Cap’n Crunch
I have ghostery.....it blocks those ads. If I didn’t have it I wouldn’t be able to go to the sites I do.
Snap, Crackle, Un-American.
I pulled my money from Kellogg’s over concerns that I was eating sugar covered cardboard bits. I’m keeping my money out of Battle Creek, Michigan, even if the state went Trump.
I have done that!
Put potatoes in the fire in tin foil and then go fishing for a while. Fish cooks fast so you come back to a baked potato and fish on the half shell (unskinned, unscaled). The best ever.

YUP. I shop Costco now.
People are calling Sam's Club CEO 'racist' after she gave an interview about diversity
"Just today we met with a supplier and the entire other side of the table was all Caucasian males. That was interesting. I decided not to talk about it directly with [the supplier's] folks in the room because there were actually no female, like, levels down. So I'm going to place a call to him."
Now I have to dump Kellogg, too?”
There’s still Post. All our cereal is Kroger brand. Tastes just like the other brands, is less expensive and we get our 10% senior discount.

All risk and no reward never makes a good business decision.
I am beginning to believe liberalism is an emotional ailment that is hard to cure.
Great! Gives me a good reason to never again purchase anything Kellogg sells.
Oh really? Then I pull my money from Kellogg and buy General Mills, Kashi and other brands of cereals that are better for me and my family anyway...
Hate speech = truthful speech about any “protected” individual or group.
TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.

Post shredded wheat already adorns my pantry shelf. And I never but Rice Krispies anyway, too bland for my taste.
I sent them a photo copy of a Breitbart T Shirt and some stern words..
Do not buy any more Kellog’s cereals. Got their message loud and clear.
Just the other night I watched a strange movie on Netflix. Definitely a B rated thing, but it sure reminded me of the liberals. Children born and placed in family units, babies deemed unfit killed by lethal injection, children given a daily behavior modification injection before going to school and highly regulated speech with drones watching one’s every move. It was called, The Giver. Eerily too similar to what today’s liberals want for us..
