CNN Cuts Away From My Pillow CEO, Mike Lindell as He Announces Mask Production, Praises God for Trump
PJ Media ^ | 03/31/2020 | Tyler O' Neill

Posted on 03/31/2020 7:16:26 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

CNN cut away from President Donald Trump's coronavirus press conference on Monday just as the president welcomed My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell to the podium to announce how his company is producing cotton masks to help curb the shortage of N95 face masks. Lindell went on to praise God for Trump's election and to encourage Americans to read their Bibles and pray during the coronavirus crisis. Yet CNN's audience would miss out on this inspiring message.

Just as Lindell began speaking, CNN's Wolff Blitzer cut away from him.

The Daily Caller caught the footage of Lindell's speech for anyone who had the misfortune of watching CNN at the time. The My Pillow CEO announced that 75 percent of his company's manufacturing has been redirected to the production of cotton face masks.

Yet his more notable comments came after this announcement.

"God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on," Lindell said, referring to Trump's election. "God had been taken out of our schools and lives, a nation had turned its back on God. And I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the word, read our Bibles and spend time with our families."

He praised Trump for having presided over "the best economy, the lowest unemployment, wages going up, it was amazing."

The hatred of Trump has caused these networks to actively work against their own survival...

For a lot of reasons people are tuning in to the daily press briefings, the ratings are HUGE.....even if they don’t like Trump they still tune in to see the medical experts give out information and explain things...

When CNN or MSNBC cut away it only hurts them because anyone that wants to watch the press briefing can, they will switch to Fox, their local channel, online, etc...they’re any number of ways to watch the briefings...

I’m not a TV executive but it seems dumb to give people a reason to turn off your channel and turn on your competitor’s, because many may never come back....

I hear you but I think the better course is to keep them in the briefings and let them continue their actions...

The last thing we need to do is martyr them...

Every time Jim Acosta or some other media idiot stands up and asks the most asinine question people get it, they see them for what they are, which is basically un-American.

We need to keep reinforcing that on a daily basis and it’s happening I say keep it up...

Lindell’s great American story of landing in the druggie gutter, finding God, pulling himself up and out of the gutter, then finding great success — that reality is POISON to progressives (D’rats, leftists, socialists, communists).

Mike shows that government is NOT needed to pull one’s self up and succeed.

Proggies hate Mike Lindell and stories like his.

I don’t even like here the clips on talks radio when they replay any of these bloviating idiots. All you have do is mention any of the networks initials and I know their dirty tricks and the tripe they are trying to sell.

Didn’t you hear; airlines are cutting back flights drastically. Airports are mostly empty and CNN only has 1210 viewers now.

It is time for the Air[ports to cancel those CNN Contracts. Maybe if that happens, AT&T will kick CNN to the curb.
