It appears that Proactiv, makers of acne medicine, is pulling its ads from MSNBC over the Kurt Eichenwald–Kyle Kashuv feud we’ve been covering all day:
1/2:We are aware of this incident and have pulled our ads from the network as a result. We are working diligently
— Proactiv (@Proactiv) March 30, 2018
2/2: with our media partner to get them removed as quickly as possible. Thank you.

What makes this even better is Eichenwald doesn’t even work for MSNBC and had it in his bio in error:
Eichenwald isn’t actually employed by MSNBC, fyi. His bio was wrong.

Eichenwald is now trying to get Proactiv to change its mind:
.@Proactiv Im not affiliated w/ MSNBC. And has been made clear, I mixed Kyle up with ANOTHER non-parkland kid with a podcast whose followers swarmed my feed weeks ago w/ insults & attacks. While Kyle is not responsible, his suddenly did the same thing, which led to the confusion.

But we still haven’t seen any evidence of the other Kyle yet Eichenwald keeps ranting about:

What a perfect ending to this ridiculous day.
