8. Kellogg's publicly pulled their ads from Breitbart.

It started a (half hearted) boycott of their products by right wingers.

14. I've been a subscriber to EarthLink for over 20 years.

Just sent them an email asking (politely) how they square advertising on Breitbart with their stated corporate values. We'll see is/when I get a response.

16. Thank you. It would be nice if DU could post a list on the home page

so we wouldn't have to go through all sorts of machinations to find out their advertisers.

18. here's how to EASILY find those advertisers and send them a message:

http://adstrike.us/

And there's a way to recognize and thank the companies that have left, too. Just flip the switch near the bottom of the page from "Brands on Breitbart, Etc" to "No Longer on Breitbart, Etc."

The list of companies that have dropped their advertising there is LONG. This works!

20. How to destroy the business model of Breitbart and fake news site

Even when ad placements are automated, companies still have the power to control whether neo-Nazis or fake news hucksters profit. In fact, it’s actually rather simple for companies to impose ethical policies, according to Mr. Zeitz. Indeed, his own company (which handles programmatic advertising for other organizations) recently decided to get out ahead of the issue by removing Breitbart News from its advertising marketplace. “We’re not banning them because they’re alt-right or conservative. We banned them from our marketplace because they violate our hate speech policy, which prohibits ad serving on sites that incite violence and discrimination against minority groups.” (Breitbart has said that it condemns racism and bigotry “in any form.”)

He pointed out that brand-name companies had already figured out how to keep their ads from flowing onto porn sites, because “you really don’t want your ad for a breakfast cereal next to a hard-core pornographic video,” and so “there are tools in place that allow companies to control where their ads go.” A company can block a specific site like Breitbart News from its ad buy. Or it might pick a “white list” of sites that align with its values.
