On Wednesday, conservative website Breitbart waged all-out war against Kelloggs after the brand pulled its advertising from the so-called alt-right platform in an effort to ensure our ads do not appear on sites that arent aligned with our values as set forth in our advertising guidelines.
In response, Breitbartwhose executive chairman Steve Bannon took a leave of absence to become Donald Trumps campaign manager and future chief White House strategistdemanded readers boycott Kelloggs, calling the brands decision unAmerican.
Kelloggs decision to blacklist one of the largest conservative media outlets in America is economic censorship of mainstream conservative political discourse, Breitbart said in a statement. That is as un-American as it gets.
Referencing these reports, Twitter user @JoyAnnReid asked asked why Kelloggs was advertising on Breitbart in the first place.
They thought they were selling Race Krispies, @drskyskull replied.
And thus, #BreitbartCereals was born. Check out some of the best suggestions below:
