The pillow fight between Mike Lindell and Fox News continues, as the MyPillow CEO has pulled all of his advertisements from the cable news network after a dispute regarding an entirely different commercial he wanted to run.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Lindell sought to air an ad for an upcoming cyber symposium in which he would present claims that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. Lindell told the WSJ his proposed ad hadnt mentioned specific claims of election fraud, but he has made multiple public statements that this symposium will prove the 2020 election was stolen.
Fox News has been sued by two different manufacturers of voting machines for allegedly defamatory comments made on-air about their products. The network has filed motions to dismiss the lawsuits, denying their coverage was defamatory and defending it as protected under the First Amendment.
Back in February, Lindell released a documentary called Absolute Proof, which, despite the title, did not actually provide proof of election fraud. OAN aired the documentary but prefaced it with an eyebrow-raising disclaimer that said Lindell was solely and exclusively responsible for its content.

(16,834 posts)He had enough sense to build a successful company, though. I guess he's a sort of idiot savant.

(51,567 posts)lucky once. I read how he started his company in Rolling Stone about 5 years ago. He couldn't find a decent pillow so he got some foam and had his 2 sons rip it into tiny pieces. He was in debt and had a pretty big drug problem. Then he found God and put his free child labor into overdrive. Then he found Satan/tRump and the rest is history. Props like his giant cross around his neck is another PR move. Rip off the blind sheep and loyal Evangelicals and you get a ticket straight to Heaven (Ha!).

It's not like it's the only place in the world to get crappy overpriced pillows.
He took too many of his own drugs, he seems to think this is the case.
