Showing Original Post only (View all)Breitbart CEO Larry Solov declares "WAR" on Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops. I sh*t you not. [View all]

Breitbart and some of its right-wing audience are now declaring a war on advertisers who are dropping the site. The sites CEO Larry Solov said, Well handle this the way we always do war.
Solov added, What youre seeing is Kelloggs and others buying into a false, left-wing narrative that our 45 million readers are deplorables Our readers are mainstream America and, frankly, thats who these advertisers risk alienating. Theyre creating economic censorship of conservative discourse. They say we dont represent their values but we represent American values.
At least one blogger seemed to agree with Solovs assessment. John Hinderaker wrote for PowerLineBlog.com that Frosted Flakes should be boycotted much like Hamilton and Starbucks.
He added, A final observation: most cereal like Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops is consumed by children. Who has more children, liberals or conservatives? Right. Kellogg might want to start looking for a new CEO.

They've gone from being the (self-described) voice of the so-called anti-establishment "alt right"

the free market only applies when it suits them, not when others use it against them
