Kellogg’s became the latest company to remove its advertising from Breitbart News on Tuesday, following in the footsteps of AllState, Nest and several other companies who have publicly denounced the so-called “alt-right” website.
“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,” Kellogg’s spokesperson Kris Charles said. “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.”
Modcloth, Earthlink and SoFi are also among the companies who have removed their advertising from the site, which has come under fire for articles that critics say promote racist, sexist and white nationalist views.
