This article is about Nasa and their current fear of Asteroids and the earth's imminent danger that it is not prepared for, the article talks about Nasa's fears of asteroids being justified by nearby space bodies that are large enough to cause devastation to the earth, and it also talks about the earth's current technology that could destroy the threat of an asteroid, such as a cannonball to destroy it with kinetic energy, the problem is the construction and funding of these defence systems are not being looked into by the government.
In my opinion this issue is far more important than people are giving the attention for it, an asteroid hit could potentially end all life as we know it and it is a very real threat, yet important science related news like this, including endangered animals, and deathly climate change, is swamped over less meaningful that people apparently care more about than the safety of where they live, its an unusual but also sad truth of media and what it focuses on.

Breitbart declares war on Kellogg's after cereal brand pulls advertising from site
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/nov/30/breitbart-news-kelloggs-advertising-boycott-alt-right
This article is about the the Kelogg's company removing their advertisements from a news site, and the owner's response to Kelogg's boycott of the site. This website is an alt-right news site that recently, after the owner Breitbart becoming a particular member of Donald Trump's political team, has gone under fire due to its extreme and absurd news articles which include but not limited to "Data: Young Muslims in the west are a ticking timebomb" and "Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer" These titles, obviously, create a very bad image for everyone associated with these kinds of articles, which caused Kelogg's boycott of the site and removal of their advertisements. Breitbart has responded by starting a hashtag of #War and criticizes Keloggs for the removal of their advertisements.
In my personal opinion I do not believe that a simple advertisement on a site with a particular view (No matter how backwards, offensive or downright stupid the views are) should reflect the views of the advertisement company. However it makes a lot of sense for Kelogg's to pull their advertisements especially from something as messed up as this alt-right newspaper. Guardian is a left wing news outlet and you can see that they position Breitbart as the antagonist as they look at Kelogg's reasonings for taking down the advertisements rather than whatever is going on through Breitbart's head.
