MINNEAPOLIS -- MyPillow chief executive and prominent election denier Mike Lindell said Friday that Fox News has stopped running his company's commercials, disputing the network's assertion that it is simply because he hasn't paid his bills.
Lindell went public by tweeting that Fox, which had been one of MyPillow's biggest advertising outlets, had canceled him. He said in his tweet that he didn't know why but that he suspected that the network was trying to silence him. Fox denied that.
Losing Fox was just the latest in a series of financial and legal setbacks for Minnesota-based MyPillow and Lindell, who continues to propagate former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems. Several big-box retailers, including Walmart, have discontinued his products, and lawyers who were defending him against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies quit.
“As soon as their account is paid, we would be happy to accept their advertising,” Fox spokeswoman Irena Briganti said.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Lindell acknowledged that MyPillow owes money to Fox. He put the figure at $7.8 million, but he insisted that the sum is within his credit line with the network. He said MyPillow has long spent an average of $1 million a week to run its ads on Fox. And he said the network had long allowed him 12 weeks of credit until it recently cut that to eight weeks.
Lindell said he believes Fox wants to silence him “because I want to secure our election platforms" — an assertion that Fox disputes. And he said he suspects the network is sore because his Lindell TV/FrankSpeech online channel recently hired former Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, who made further false claims that the 2020 election was rigged.

“And he said the network had long allowed him 12 weeks of credit until it recently cut that to eight weeks.”
It should not be a problem to adapt to the new payment schedule.
“ with election denier “
Every network is a tool of the rats. I think it’s over for Mike. They have destroyed him. Walmart was the kill shot
How many times have they cut him off over the past few years?
As long as you say so, because you obviously know EVERYTHING.
I respect Mike Lindell. He did the best he could, and he laid himself out there, and not just so he could make profits. To my eye, he genuinely cares.
Whether he put himself on the line correctly is not an issue in this respect.
It is that he has put it on the line.
So I respect him for that.
Why don’t they just call him a heretic already?
I’m with you he put it all on the line and they destroyed him for doing it.
> I think it’s over for Mike. They have destroyed him. <
You’re probably right. I feel really bad for Lindell. He’s a good businessman, and a patriot. And he makes a great pillow (I have two).
Unfortunately, he’s also incredibly naive. He thought he could keep his business separate from his politics. He didn’t understand how vindictive the Left can be.
I recall right after the 2020 election Lindell kept saying that his “team” was on the verge of proving election fraud. That proof never came. I now think Lindell was taken by swindlers who promised him the moon. “Just another $250,000 should do it, Mike.”
Oh, and was there really election fraud? See my tagline.
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
Given those words, Mike Lindell is in good company, in my estimation.
File this under, things the Murdochs would say to their best advertiser, whom they no longer like".
Never mind the half a billion dollars Lindell has paid Fox so far.
Has ABC EVER called a democrat an “election denier? “
ABC, the election-theft denier.
(denier works both ways, but Trump and Lindell are the ones being correct on this one))
According to Ad Week, a 30 second spot on FNC is $8286.00.
Lindell can will cutback on his buys and FNC can extend his line of credit.
Everything is a negotiation, and both parties can show good faith or end the relationship.
Christian testimony.
You don’t do that to your half a billion dollar customer.
So all here should go and buy other items from Lindell’s site. The slippers are very comfortable and useful. And the soft weave towels.. truly the best absorbents one usually finds only in 5 star accommodation. Cotton.
The denier is the one who refuses to see the evidence of which there is an abundance. Lindell has accumulated enormous evidence that is ignored and ridiculed but has not been proven wrong. Election was stolen.
Settle the dispute. Mike Lindell’s products are quality and they should be sold for all to enjoy..
“NUFF SAID!’
Reading the crap....
To say that Mike Lindell is continuing a lie, concerning the election of 2020 is pure BULLSHIT.
If we had an honest government, and honest states, (eliminate Georgia, Pennsylvania), for example,) we would have had a different result in 2020.
The DOJ, FBI, CIA, Congress critters like Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, etc, should be in prison where they belong, WE WOULD HAVE THE REPUBLIC THAT WAS PROMISED IN 1789!!!
Biden MUST go down as the WORST PERSON TO EVER “SLEEP/SERVE.” as Pissident of the USA!
