Truth Revolt, the right’s answer to Media Matters for America, fully launched Monday with a petition to get MSNBC host Al Sharpton kicked off the air. The group’s Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro writes:
"Sharpton doesn’t dislike all 'crackers.' One of the companies that has run commercials on Sharpton’s show is Ritz Crackers, owned by Mondelez International. Mondelez gave TruthRevolt this statement: “At Mondelez International we demonstrate our commitment to responsible corporate citizenship by participating in programs that best serve a wide range of local communities and their interests and needs. We extend our responsibility to the sponsorship of tasteful, believable television programming and we avoid sponsorship of programs that would be unacceptable in terms of generally accepted social or community standards.”

Andy and his “good cracker” commercial isn’t far behind.
There are also far more conservatives than there are liberals.
To bad I don’t ‘watch’ MSNBC.
If I did, I could boycott it.
Good idea on ‘picking’ a specific brand name, not the whole company...at least for starters...
I did enjoy RITZ crackers etc, guess I will go to a ‘generic brand’....
Below is a list of other products to avoid
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
NOW you tell me!!!!
I could be 50 lbs lighter had I known that we out-sourced Oreos, Nabisco, Cadbury (well...) etc etc...
Guess we keep making Companies like ‘Twinkies’ run the gauntlet, we can expect EVERYTHING to be made overseas.
I don’t care how ‘friendly’ these countries are - BUT look at the way BO ‘screwed’ over England and we let THEM be in charge of ‘RITZ and OREOS’?....
Never should let another country CONTROL our food supply and distribution etc...
I make my own Ritz type crackers, and I know what’s in them. They taste better too.
I joined....I consider them a great asset.
Wasn’t “Mondelez Ent.” a Jerry Seinfeld company?
We buy Ritz and Honey Maid but not anymore.

Yes, this will work and is long overdue!!!
An employer can be charged with legal responsibility for the actions of the employee because the employee can be considered an agent of the employer.
So why not sue the sponsor who makes it possible for what's his name to influence acts of hate and violence even if he has no direct connection with the criminals?
While Sharpton is maybe the biggest scumbag in the country, I’m against any campaigns to kick objectionable people off the air or stop them in other ways. Boycotts are something else, but everybody does that anyway by not watching or patronizing particular shows. However, like the Nazis, the commies, the Klan, Farrakhan, whoever, they have a right to speak. But whenever they speak, they should be countered with the truth.
Interesting group. Need to counter Soros and Media Matters
As long as they are not hijacked by PhonyCons like Rove and Fox News...they can be an effective counter.
My dream is for conservatives to fund a mutual fund buying stocks in companies that sponsor quacks such as Sharpton. With enough shares comes clout. Have the representative appear at the annual meeting and question why the company is sponsoring a show promoting dissent within the general population. Further, introduce a resolution calling for an end to such sponsorship or at least equal sponsorship to a competing venue. If any freepers are reading this and own stock in a company promoting someone like a Sharpton of Rachel Madow, write and ask for an explanation of why. Advertising sponsorship is frequently a reflection of management’s personal agenda. Dems know this and have been working hard to win over management of major companies.
