Kellogg’s, the corporate giant that has been delivering sugar-coated grain concoctions to breakfast eaters for decades, has succeeded in raisin’ the hackles — not the bran — of some American conservatives who now are calling for a boycott of all its products.
The maker of Frosted Flakes, Frosted Mini-Wheats, Froot Loops and scores of other cereals recently placed itself in the political cross hairs when, after receiving complaints from customers, it announced Monday it would be pulling all its advertising from the conservative website Breitbart.com (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/11/29/kelloggs-pulls-ads-from-breitbart-over-company-values.html).
Other advertisers who have abandoned the website include Allstate, Nest, EarthLink, Warby Parker and SoFi.

Ok Personally I couldnt care less about breitbart, I dont go there I dont quote them, because ive been there and read claims theyve made, did searchs and could find nothing collaborating it. Theyve gone down the tube since Breitbart died

Its the same as media matters, wonkette and other left progressive whacko sites.

I avoid that website simply because it has videos that start playing automatically. 99% of the time I am using my speakers for what I want to listen to, and websites that assume that they can start playing stuff randomly are not welcome.

There's a way to have your browser not automatically play videos, just google "stop playing videos" and the name of your browser to find out how to disconnect it.

Interesting. I now go to Breitbart.com several times each day. I have never had a video start automatically. I agree on the loathsome practice of the audio popup.
