MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, one of Fox News' biggest sponsors, says he is pulling his ads "immediately and indefinitely" from the network.
In an interview with Brannon Howse of Worldview Weekend TV on Thursday, Lindell said he made the decision because Fox News refused to run a commercial for a symposium he said would prove his voter-fraud claims involving the 2020 election. Election officials - Democratic and Republican alike - have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Lindell said his commercial would not have mentioned his claims of voter fraud, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Well, I’ve heard Lindell’s commercials about 2,000 times, and that’s enough. I hope Carlson funds an alternative.
You’ve seen Lindell’s commercials a lot because at one point he was the only advertiser supporting Tucker when there was a huge push to boycott him.
FoxNews is annoying as Hell with the exceptions of Tucker, Greg and Jesse.
More layoffs at Fox on the way without Lindell’s $50 million in ad revenue. Great news!
Bret Baier approves!
Good for Mike. Stand on principle. Tucker is controlled opposition anyway.
Trust me, the pressure to prevent this symposium from actually taking place by the oligarchs is growing by the day. If this was happening anywhere other than Rapid City, SD they would have been blocked by law enforcement or some fabricated health code violation by the local corrupt courts. You can count on the CCP attacking the stream with a DDOS attack to make the symposium unwatchable.
Its still possible the pressure on the venue organizations will get them to cancel the event at the last minute as they did in California for Matt Goetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene tour.
No one who was in on the steal and knows the truth can allow this event to gain traction and actually influence people’s opinions. How would the Biden administration respond if an American majority concluded that our election was proven to have been rigged by a cyber attack from a hostile foreign power? Unfortunately PCAPs with registered IP addresses can’t lie.
Lindell told Salon that he planned to pull his Fox ads “immediately.”
“Shame on you, Fox News,” he said. “Shame on them!”
Fox News, in a statement to The Hill, acknowledged that it declined to air Lindell’s TV ad, and that Lindell has “paused” his MyPillow ads.
Last year MyPillow paid close to $50 million for Fox News ads, and reportedly spent another $19 million this year, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.
Lindell is said to be outraged that the network refused to air his ad, which makes no specific allegation of vote fraud and significantly promotes FrankSpeech, the businessman’s new social media platform.
Newsmax is planning to the air the Lindell ad on its network.
Lindell’s “Cyber Symposium” will be held Aug. 10-12 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The event is not open to the public but will be live streamed.
Newsmax, in a statement, noted, “We do not endorse any political or issue ad that appears on our network. We do believe, however, that all Americans have a First Amendment right to free speech.

So, without going to Fox, where’s Mike going to adverise now?
The only other outlets I see him on are conservative web sites and talk radio.
Do you see his ads anywhere else on TV other than on Fox?
Well, I’ve heard Lindell’s commercials about 2,000 times, and that’s enough. I hope Carlson funds an alternative.

I totally agree. There simply must be a level of diminishing returns with that level of marketing saturation.
It has always been my instinct that any product that can afford to wayyyy over advertise is probably also wayyy over-priced.
I see Lindell ads on OAN.
But I haven’t seen Chanel Rion on OAN for a while now.
Where is Chanel? I liked her work, real journalism.
Anyone with common sense knows it was a stolen election.
News Max
Some of the shut-in TV addict types here STILL will watch Fox election criminals no matter what - but it's a Potemkin village. A twisted up zombie news outfit with a bunch of post expiration-date hoes in cocktail dresses.
DIE FOX DIE.
RE: NewsMax
Which leads to the next question -— is NewsMax going to air his commercial about the election-fraud symposium?
swamp toad Baier
OANN will air all of it. OANN is the only place I saw the Freedom Caucus news conference yesterday. It was good.
