Mike Lindell Starts Private Investigation Into Fox News for Not Letting Him Report on Election Fraud Allegations
Epoch Times ^ | 04/11/2021 | Samuel Allegri

Posted on 04/11/2021 2:52:12 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell said that he has employed private investigators to probe into Fox News because the outlet, according to him, rejected the idea of reporting on election fraud allegations.

He expressed suspicion about the channel’s unwillingness to take him on to talk about allegations of voter fraud software and hardware corporations in an interview with Steve Banon’s War Room.

“I’ve hired private investigators and I’ve spent a lot of money on them to investigate everything,” Lindell said.

“The bots and trolls, who’s behind them? Why is Facebook involved, Wikipedia involved? And then the big question: Why isn’t Fox having people on?”

The Epoch Times has contacted Fox News for comment.

Lindell said last month that the leaders of Facebook and Twitter would face imprisonment, adding that they were involved in “criminal activity.”

Lindell, in response to Big Tech censorship, is launching a social media website that will be able to handle over a billion users.

“I believe it will handle upwards of a billion. If it doesn’t, we will get to that capacity. I don’t think that’s exaggerated, by any means,” Lindell told The Epoch Times last month.

The website would be a direct competitor of Parler and Gab, platforms that have attracted supporters of former President Donald Trump. Corey Lewandowski, a former senior adviser with Trump’s 2020 campaign, has said that Trump will be launching his own social media platform in three to four months.

Trump, who has been suspended by Twitter and Facebook, said in February that Twitter has “become very boring,” adding that “millions of people are leaving” the platform.

The platform, which is described as a mix of YouTube and Twitter, will be known as “Frank,” and boasts the slogan “the voice of free speech.” It currently has an inoperational landing page.

It is always good to get the TRUTH out into the open. Go Mr. Pillow man.

No organization has to “investigate” stuff people say. My wife was a reporter for 25 years. If anyone called “with a story” they were usually mentally deficient.

Lindell is starting to make think he is worse: Nuts, with a ton of money.

It would be interesting to find out how bribery and extortion play out with FOX. In a land, however, where oaths of office are not legally binding, anything goes.

Mike Lindell is on the verge of getting over exposed. Too much. Too often.

“That may be a good question, but Fox News has no legal or civil responsibility to have Lindell on their network.”

He has spent millions of dollars on Fox News advertising.

Yes, just like CNN and MSNBC and all the other networks did to the people that spread the Russian hoax.

The NYT was happy to publish the lies. Hell, they won a Pulitzer for it. When your "source" is the Director of the FBI, and senior officials in the CIA and DOJ, you can get away with printing whatever they say. Other than Trump, Popadopolis and a few individuals, who has standing? And who do they sue, Wray, Comey, Brennan, Lynch, etc for telling lies? Or the NYT for publishing them?

In contrast, these lawsuits against FOX are Corporation vs Corporation. If these companies can prove the claims false, and show that they were injured, then FNC is going to lose. I doubt they pay "billions", but they might have to pay millions plus issue more apologies and retractions.

Only a moral obligation. FOX folded quickly.

I have tried a dozen different pillows to help with my neck pain. None of them worked. Then I tried My Pillow. My neck pain is much better. I won’t sleep on any other pillow.

I always thought that Dominion was the wrong strategy. Illegal votes and bundling is what primarily stole America. Gotta say, though, discovery may be interesting.

Our local Fox affiliate had a story about Trump bashing the RINOs that did not support his exposing the election fraud. They called it baseless, but OAN has stories about a number of states investigating it.

“75,000,000 conservative PDJT supporters is some pretty heavy lifting...”

I am disillusioned right now, and skeptical. What happened to that heavy lifting in January when my Georgia vote became obsolete?

Fox is facing a $1.3B lawsuit from Dominion. They are trying to avoid giving them ammunition, and are not required to give anyone airtime, including Lindell.

They were already sued, for $1.6B. They are going to keep the likes of Powell and Lindell far, far away.

A ton of money...for now. He is just digging a defamation grave right now, since he is the defendant of a lawsuit for 5 times his net worth.

After being forced to apologize and retract some of the stuff Lindell, Dobbs and Bartiromo were claiming, there's no way they are going to loan him their platform to commit defamation. They are still facing litigation over their reporting that Dominion rigged the election, something Lindell also claimed. They would be insane to let him on to make more accusations.

Lindell being a Christian man certainly believes he is speaking the truth. He needs to lay out the evidence that has led him to those conclusions, for all to see.

REALLY wish Mike would get more of his My Pillow Giza Dream Sheets back in stock soon. They are awesome! I keep trying to order more, but they haven’t had many colors/sizes in stock for several months now.
