The ongoing boycott of Breitbart has climbed to 400 companies according to tracking provided by Sleeping Giants – the Twitter account organizing opposition to the incoming President’s media mouthpiece.

Little Green Footballs initially reported on the news:

Many people have now joined the effort to inform major companies about the racist

and misogynist nature of Breitbart “News” and urge them not to advertise at this “alt-right” hate site, and this ad hoc campaign is getting serious results. The number of companies that have now pulled their ads from Breitbart is at 400. That’s gotta hurt their bottom line (although they’re also being financed by some shady right wing organizations, and possibly by Donald Trump himself).

As we previously reported, Breitbart took offense when Kellogg’s discontinued advertising based on their internal policies stating they do not spend advertising budgets on companies that have the potential to ignite controversy. That led to a nasty campaign against the corporate giant that ultimately backfired.

From there, other companies began dumping Breitbart and the rest his history.
