The chief executive of MyPillow Inc., one of Fox News’s big advertisers, said he is pulling his ads from the network after a disagreement over a proposed commercial.
Mike Lindell said he made the decision after Fox News declined to run a commercial linked to his efforts to promote his claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Security and election officials have said there is no proof of widespread election fraud.
“It’s unfortunate Mr. Lindell has chosen to pause his commercial time on FOX News given the level of success he’s experienced in building his brand through advertising on the number one cable news network,” Fox News said in a statement.
.... Snip....
Since the 2020 election, Mr. Lindell has emerged as one of the most prominent proponents of unproven theories that the election was stolen from Mr. Trump through widespread fraud. Voting-machine maker Dominion Voting Systems sued Mr. Lindell and MyPillow in February for defamation, seeking more than $1.3 billion in damages. He has countersued.

Either extremely principaled or jumped the shark. We will see.
Mike Lindell has “diversified” over the past six months or so to ads/promo codes on MANY right leaning radio programs and podcasts...I hope it’s enough to keep him going. I have to think that the high saturation of My Pillow ads on Fox has largely diluted their effectiveness...between muting and fast-forwarding, how many people actually watch them?
I thought Faux news had learned a lesson or two.
Good thing some ‘truth’ (not facts) news sites are coming up.
NO ONE with an ounce of feeling for this country should be watching Fox News or listening to Fox radio or reading a Fox article. Starve them to death for their perfidy.
I hear ya. He’s gonna run out of places to advertise and sell.
Exactly. Lindell is on so many conservative programs and websites. They actually dwarf FOX’s 4 million viewers. My pillow is everywhere. Fox needs to sell some more snake oil to make up for the missing Pillow spots......
“...the number one cable news network...”
That’s not saying much. A rerun of SpongeBob SquarePants has the same number of viewers.
The truth is that ALL cable news networks has lost a large number of viewers, including the three big broadcast networks.
People mostly get their news online, especially the younger generation.
TV news and print media are going the way of the Dodo bird.
Fox News is not entitled to Lindell’s millions in ad spending. Time for more layoffs over there.
Something wrong with your browser? You realize you're not on Politico, right? Soros hack....
Tucker Carlson is the only Fox show worth watching anymore.
Hannity and Levin are like broken records on “ Jim Crow “, and the 6pm time slot ( CDT ) can’t settle on a host.
Tucker may need to switch to OANN or Newsmax.
The even that promoted the idea of widespread election fraud was the election itself and the reporting of it during and after it.
