Full disclosure, I'm an Amazon Prime member but even I think they should pull their ads.

Amazon.com Inc. is coming under pressure remove ads from right-wing news site Breitbart News Network.

The list of companies removing their ads from Breitbart has mushroomed in recent months to include Seattle-area brands, such as T-Mobile and Nordstrom.

A group of anonymous marketers known as Sleeping Giants have orchestrated the anti-Breitbart campaign, which has led 1,600 companies – including BMW, Visa, Uber and Lyft – to pull ads from the newspaper, according to The Daily Beast.

Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) remains the biggest holdout, the group says, because of the sheer size of its advertising distribution network.

2. There have been many

stories about this which report that Amazon ignores all efforts to lobby them, even hanging up on consumers who call asking them to remove the ads, as soon as they say the word "Breitbart". I too am a Prime member and I signed a petition requesting them to pull their ads.

I would hate to boycott Amazon; they are my only supplier for many hard-to-get items that I need for health issues, and my main source for books and movies, but I'll do it if called upon. Breitbart and Faux News are threats to our democracy.
