Telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom and several other German firms have stopped advertising on the US media outlet Breitbart. A similar snub by Kellogg’s had sparked a furious response from the right-wing site.
The carmaker BMW, the restaurant chain Vapiano, the supermarket chain Rewe, and Deutsche Telekom have all pulled their ads from the pro-Trump news site due to concerns about its content, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
“The positions held by Breitbart.com contrast with Vapiano’s values, such as openness and tolerance,” said the restaurant chain offering Italian food across Europe and the US.
Deutsche Telekom is also present on the American market through its subsidiary T-mobile, the third-largest wireless carrier in the US. Replying to a DW inquiry, Deutsche Telekom said they “very much regret” that their ads appeared on Breitbart, which is often branded a far-right hate site. …

The Germans have an Italian restaurant chain? How 1942.
As for BMW...what’s the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? The porcupine has its pricks on the outside.
Germany, take back your country and protect your daughters.
My daughter lives in Greer SC where there is a large BMW plant and a lot of related businesses. Her husband works for a German company there.
According to new data on foreign direct investment (FDI) in U.S. metro areas, 512,000 U.S. workers receive their paycheck from a German company. By sheer numbers alone, the Spartanburg, S.C. metropolitan area comes in 5th with 12,600 workers falling behind the much larger metros of New York, Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles. Currently there are more than 105 German-owned companies in the Upstate including BMW, ZF, Bosch and Adidas, In total it is estimated that 19,480 workers across the Upstate receive their paycheck from a German company.

BMW is behaving stupidly.
These people claim to be be tolerant while showing intolerance toward those with whom they disagree.
FU Krauts! Go back to your Muslim rapists
Once again, the Germans are a disappointment. For a country with such technical prowess, they sure don’t have a clue about politics. That hausfrau they’ve had for too many years as their “leader” needs to be thrown back into her East German dacha and forgotten.
“Which is often branded a right wing hate site”... So once again, mere assertion without any proof given.
Wait a second!
Breitbart = Jewish
Companies = German
There. Now the racism against Breitbart is obvious.
I can’t wait to hear what Milo will have to say about BMWs. Should be funny!

That is why trying to compromise, accommodate, or pacify them never works.
These companies need to be made aware that caving to the left has serious counter consequences. Kellogg's is learning that.
Amen! I was going to replace my Z4 with a newer model this Spring. Now I’m thinkin’ a GT500 Mustang might be in my future...
The left have always been poor losers. This is the revenge phase of Trump’s victory.

I have been telling fiends, relatives, and anyone else who will listen that the people of the Left are ENEMIES of America, and therefore we should NEVER compromise with them, accommodate them, or attempt to pacify them in any way whatsoever.
Cry me a river. I don’t think I can count on one hand the times I bought because of an online ad.
But Breitbart is on my “list” as they won’t let me comment, and will not give me the courtesy of a reply when I ask them what I said to cause it.
Besides, compromising with bad policy is like adding a little sewage to your drinking water.
Exactly. They should be given no more consideration than one would an angry child who wants candy for dinner. I used to try to meet them halfway, but learned that is a fool's errand. Especially, never apologize to them. They see that as an invitation to double down.
