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.

I bought 4 of tem and very happy that my head rests on a product made in the USA by a fellow Trump supporter.
So all here should go and buy other items from Lindell’s site.

The My Pillow site has a Warroom section with free shipping.
Warroom is growing so fast and his listeners,like me, are so loyal to Lindell one of the smartest guys out there when it comes to voter fraud,he won't need the others who sold out to the deep state.
Mike's future may well be with rumble, gettr and the rest as the net slowly eats up old tv nets like fnc,cnn,mostly stupid nbc and the rest.
ANd you know this based on what?
So you are an expert on Lindells ability to pay based on his cash flow? Not likely.
Never give up!!
That makes all the difference. Also he loves his country as do many of us and will get our support basically:
FOREVER!!
1,2.Catherine Englebrecht and Gregg Phillips
3.President Trump

5.Mike Lindell
These five patriots know more about voter fraud than all the rest put together.
Agreed. A business that is paying an entity $1M a week ought to be able to pay up a month quicker after the payment is due.
If it can’t, that precarious financial situation, rather than censorship, is probably what is operative here.
I have a set and I think they're great.
IDK about that, as it triples his current outlay.
Cuttently paying $1million/. Now having to pay $3 million at once. ($1 million “routine” payment + $1 million to get “current” + $1 million due on new payment schedule)
That can be a significant wrinkle in a business’s cash flow.
The Swamp is trying to bankrupt him. I hope I’m wrong but it looks like they’re gonna succeed.
Why don’t they just call him a heretic already?
—
I’m surprise they haven’t publicly burned him at the stake.
My Pillow will be a business school study subject for years and years. My Pillow is an exercise in success gone to hell.
After achieving saturation for a legitimate and unique market, TV hawked pillow sales most certainly declined precipitously.
The company then entered what are ordinary retail markets for products it did not manufacture and exhorting prices having no justification. For the sheets, claim after claim that the pillows were American, the attempt was made to sell premium quality foreign cotton. There was a contradiction in corporate message. The My Pillow image was blemished.
Then realizing the sheets and towels weren’t selling, Lindell began what amounted to a fire sale. He began hawking sheets for what amounted to half price. In so doing, he revealed the outrageous mark-up of his original but failed effort. Former customers realizing they paid for hype were not going to buy anything else.
Then, realizing the untenable position, a new and improved pillow was brought to the already saturated market. Sales are likely non existent.
Now the lesson involves the fact that suppliers cut you off when you can’t pay your bills. And, when you saturate the market for the only product you have, the company will cease to exist.
No, the man is a poor businessman and destroyed himself.
Didn’t they split the sheets a couple years ago? I’m surprised he’s been advertising recently. Of course, I wouldn’t know ‘cause I never watch Fox.
“Whether he put himself on the line correctly is not an issue in this respect.”
Trying to fix a stolen election is not a “whether or not” thing. It’s always correct.
“That proof never came.”
It did come. Buckets full. The proof was squelched.
So sez propagandist and mockingbird media member Steve Karnowski.
How’s it feel, Steve?
