...
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — 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, whose debut show on Monday night featured an interview with Trump, who made further false claims that the 2020 election was rigged.

Fox last April agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million to avert a trial in the voting machine company’s lawsuit that would have exposed how the network promoted lies about the 2020 election on shows by Dobbs and other hosts. Fox canceled Dobbs' show three years ago.

Lindell acknowledged in an interview in October that he owed two law firms that were defending him against lawsuits by Dominion and Smartmatic millions of dollars that he couldn't pay, which is why they quit. He said MyPillow had been “decimated.”

But Lindell insisted Friday that MyPillow is “doing great.” He said it's still running ads on another conservative network, Newsmax, and on his own platforms. But he conceded that losing Fox will hurt the business and said he would run his ads there again if Fox would take them.


“Obviously, it would be great if Fox said, ‘Hey, come back,’" Lindell said.

Of course the other reason why Fox dumped Mike is he couldn't pay for his advertising.

Mike lives in an alternate universe.

He seems like a nice guy, but I think the crack permanently damaged his brain.

I have been meaning to order new pillows, I think now is a good time.

There is a really old Dallas Cheerleader that might rent you a couple.

Good grief the amount of slant and vile in that piece.

They mentioned “election denier” like 5 times.

A million dollars a week?? FUGK FOX

I canceled faux news a long time ago. They are all paid shills for the anti-American cabal.

I had a liberal at work tell me that I sounded like “Fox talking points”. I replied that he had CNN down Pat and Fox is a liberal New York Network, at least pick something that wasn’t left wing that I sound like. This was 3 years plus ago.

I buy My Pillow direct as much as practical for gifts.

So, Fox is saying: pay your bill, and you can come back.

Lindell is saying: He'll run ads again if Fox will have him back.

So: Pay the bill, Lindell.

Simple.

No fox is saying pay your bill so we can donate your money to a liberal cuk or traitor like Haley.

I quit watching Fox News forever on election night.

So I guess I wasn't seeing My Pillow ads anyway.

Throwing his business/life away over the delusion of a stolen election.

We will be reading about pillow guy dead in a gutter after relapsing on crack.

What an idiot, but anyone dumb enough to believe the bullshit he does, well, has it coming.

Don't feel sorry for the deadbeat.

I heard on the radio he was having a big sale

I support Mike as often as I can, but maybe not as often as I should. I believe in the guy, and he sells good stuff.

We took a chance a couple of months ago and bought two of his My Pillow 2.0's. They honestly are the most comfortable pillows we have ever owned.

Fox News is dead to me.

Any body tried the gaza dream sheets?

Yeah man. That election was perfectly legit. No issues. No interference.

You keep carrying that water my man!

Havent watched FOX in decades. Quite literally decades. As much of a trash outlet as MSNCB and Saturday Night Live or Colbert.

You just showed your stripes. Now We know who and what you are.

You pathetic, stupid fugk.

Everybody who thinks the election was crooked is an "election denier."

There is ample evidence that the election was stolen for Biden. I think it was very crooked in Atlanta and elsewhere.

Mike chit his kraken...while pissing his business away.

Only thing he's proven is just how dumb he really is.

Well, that and he's now proving he's a deadbeat that doesn't pay his bills.

Why is that not surprising?

Worth repeating.

Yes and they are awesome 👌

I have no doubt that there was cheating in key states and especially in the heavily Democrat districts of key states. Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta ect.

By far the biggest steal was all of the media propaganda from FB and Twitter to MSN that held back news or outright lied about news. The MSM would still rather focus on stolen votes and “election deniers” which are harder to prove rather than discuss the nonstop “Russia Gate” coverage or the cancel culture and extreme propaganda shills that the “news” has become.

Riiiight because asking someone to pay their bills is soooo unAmerican.

Mike isn't the only one living in an alternate universe.

Did you get the summer ones? (with flooded tunnels)

Or,

The Winter ones? (With napalm heaters)

“No Ticky … No Washy”

I just got a MyPillow 2.0 for Christmas. It's the most comfortable pillow I've ever slept on.

Fox probably made a deal with Dominion as part of their settlement to screw Mike.

The Associated Press is so far left I can't stand it. What a crappy article.

I have them. Except for the higher price, they’re the same as others of similar quality.

Fox News or Lindell, pick your poison.

g

A fool and his money,,,,,,, c

Useful fuggin idiot.

🤡^^

Any different than Sleepy Joe doing away with College loans? Genius.

Oh look Busse comes out of the closet evertime Buzzy does.

Even Rudy Guliani and Sydney Powel have testified under oath that they could find no fraud in GA. They just kept throwing theories out there hoping someone could verify them. Trumps own people can't find any fraud.


Trumps people hired the Cyber Ninja's, specifically to find fraud in Arizona. They spent several months and several million dollars and at the end could find zero fraud. In fact, they found Biden won Arizona with 400 more votes than originally thought.

The vacation to Fantasy Island is over. Trump lost, no one cheated. It's time to come up with another plan because this one isn't working.

I think the Dominion lawsuit against him has, ah, 'dried up' his funds for the time being.. While he's a good guy, I sure got sick to death of his ad saturation.

"The last election was stolen via Election Fraud by the DNCC".....

Denying it, is like the kids book, "The King's New Clothes". ONe Candidate can get 10 people to show up to one of his rallys, while the other has to hold his on the tarmac of an airport, near his plane, because 30,000 to 70,000 people show up.
Yet we are to believe that the guy that can barely get 10 people to show up WINS over the guy that has 30,000 to 70,00 show up, and runs out of room to have any more there, and he looses? Then we have people in this nation actually believe the Candidate who can't get 20 people to show up to listen to him actually WINS? We have plenty right here on this web site that believe the same!

Goebbles said in Nazi Germany, " tell enough lies over and over and people will believe it as fact".

Then people who believe these lies, are "Election Deniers"??? Then the DNCC has been doing clean up every day for Biden, since Day 1.!!! And people still believe this "Election Deniers" BS? We truly live in a nation of idiots.

Even if Trump was the one, that could only attract a dozen people at a rally, and Biden was the one that drew 30K to 70K at each stop, yet supposedly "LOST", it doesn't change the facts. Numbers win... not these fabricated results from the last election. We've been seeing that, my entire life, in Latin America and other third world countries. Yet once again Americans are out blindly believing this BS and thinking.. BUT IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE?

and If Mike Lindell isn't paying a bill, then get off your ass and pay the Bill Mike! You got the services to advertise, so then pay the bill. It isn't that hard. But disguising that as a reason, is Fox's rationale to cut off his commercials, it tells you that the network, being handed over to the liberal kids of the last guy in charge (Rupert?), are not what they use to be, and are a disciple of the DNCC now also.

Mike's agreement with FOX was payment in 12 weeks.

They arbitrarily changed that agreement to 8 weeks.Since his payment schedule showed that he made payment between 9 and 12 weeks,within their agreement period,they chose 8 weeks so as to make it difficult,perhaps impossible to make this timeline.

The Bolsheviks who own FOX saw that Mike was steadily gaining traction with his provable claim that the 2020 election was fraught with fraud.They're also pissed that Mike hired Lou Dobbs after he was fired from FOX.Bolsheviks never forget and they will enact retribution for anyone who dares to oppose their NWO agenda.

Raffensperger claimed that he purged the voter rolls in 2019.This expert clearly illustrates that claim was bogus.

This investigation starts in November16,2020.This is after the general election and many months after Raffensperger falsely claimed that he "cleaned up " the Georgia voter rolls.

There are 7.2M active voters and there are 498,000 issues.

22,000 people live at a business.
15,000 people live at a church.
10,170 people live at a hotel.
2,613 people live at RV parks.
1,741 people over the age of 110.
31 people over 140 years old.
The oldest person is 223 years old.
All voters over 115 YO are active voters and they registered to vote between 2016-2020.

Brian Kemp Gave Dominion $107 Million Contract After Meeting Chinese Consul

At best,he's a surrogate for the Fulton County RINO good-old-boy Party.

He may be Hatari's alter ego.lol

Absolutely!

In defense of pillow guy, he's just flat dumb. His idiocy can almost be over looked. I expect a burned out drug user to be fooled into believing election lies. Rudy and Sydney threw it all away and knew better.

I have no sympathy for all three, getting exactly what they deserve.

The State Republican Convention, the Georgia Republican Party voted to censure Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The resolution stated that Raffensperger failed to perform his duties in "accordance with the laws of the Constitution of the State of Georgia.” All over the country, and after many investigations, the populace is awaking from the massive damage inflicted from the corrupt November 2020 Presidential Election.

Is Raffensperger responsible as charged? Yes he is. But let’s not neglect the main culprit, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp. I want to thoroughly examine the role Governor Kemp played in the 2020 election and demonstrate just how much he has cozied with one of the most dangerous organizations in the world, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

It’s easy to understand the desire to establish and engage the state in world trade relationships. This certainly increases the economic power and prowess of any state. A rising tide lifts all boats. Past governors in the state have worked hard to tighten trade ties with Communist China. But one has to remember, what are the Chinese government’s and the CCP’s main goals? In February 2020, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave a speech in which he declared, "Whether you are viewed by the CCP as friendly or hardline, know that it’s working you, know that it’s working the team around you,” to "gain advantage over us at the federal level, the state level, and the local level.”

You have to know your enemy. We, in the state of Georgia, have allowed a treacherous government that harvests organs from their living subjects while they are strapped to a gurney with no anesthesia, and then allowed to bleed to death, to become one of our largest trading partners. Have we no shame?

After assuming office in January 2019, Brian Kemp met, in the Chinese Consulate in Houston, Texas, with Consul General Li Qiangmin, where he praised the governor. Kemp met Li again in July 2019 and gifted him a book about Georgia. Kemp wrote the following note in the book that expressed his admiration for Li’s "great service and for your friendship to the state of Georgia.” Seventeen days later, Brad Raffensperger announced that Georgia would be awarding $107 million to Dominion Voting Systems for the replacement of state voting machines. Kemp’s former staffer (when Kemp was Georgia’s Secretary of State), Jared Thomas, is a paid lobbyist for Dominion Voting Systems. According to a January 2020 report from the Texas Secretary of State, Texas three times, rejected use of ballot counting software from Dominion, having concerns about fraud and unauthorized manipulation.

In September 2019, Kemp met with Li’s replacement, Cai Wei, at the Governor’s Mansion in Atlanta, and in early 2020, Kemp met with him again at the Houston Chinese Consulate. In July 2020, the U.S. State Department ordered this same consulate closed because it was determined to be a den of espionage and a massive spy center for the Chinese government/CCP. It was declared a hub of spying and international property theft, and Cai Wei was determined, by the U.S. State Department, to be a Chinese spymaster. On February 3, 2020, about the same time of the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, the Georgia State Senate passed a resolution to honor the special relationship between the People’s Republic of China and to honor and "recognize the Consul General Cai Wei of the Consulate of China in Houston.” Through all of this, the University System of Georgia has become home to six of this country’s 63 chapters of the Confucius Institute. These chapters are a Trojan horse for CCP propaganda and have been ordered closed in many states and countries.

Brian Kemp has never come clean about this election in any sense of the word. He and Raffensperger continue to play the good people of the State of Georgia for fools. The governor could barely be heard over the chorus of boos during his speech at the Republican Convention this weekend. The people of Georgia must hold him to account. Recall what happened in Fulton County, Georgia’s most populated county, on November 3, 2020. Absentee-by-mail processing was delayed by four hours because a water pipe burst in a room. As of this day, the legally required chain-of-custody documentation remains missing for over 18,000 ballots in Fulton County, and 355,000 ballots throughout the state. Without this documentation, the state’s votes cannot be legally certified (but somehow were). Not only did this affect the presidential race, but also Congressional and Senate races in the state. Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero recently ruled that 145,000 Fulton County absentee ballots are to be recounted due to evidence of fraudulent ballots and improper counting. The Fulton County Board of elections immediately hired a group of top criminal defense attorneys to attempt to shut down the audit. The litigation continues, as it does around the rest of the country. Recounts all over the country continue, especially in Arizona. A group of lawmakers from Pennsylvania recently paid a trip to see what the on-going Arizona recount had uncovered. They immediately returned to Pennsylvania and demanded that a recount begin there.

Five battleground states mysteriously stopped counting votes after midnight on November 3, 2020. Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of our country. Why hasn’t Brian Kemp ever addressed any of these issues with the people of the state of Georgia? Why did Brian Kemp appoint a horrible candidate to replace Johnny Isakson as Georgia Senator? I’m absolutely sure it had nothing to do with Kelly Loeffler being the wife of New York Stock Exchange Chairman and billionaire, Jeffery Sprecher. Put the blame of the Republican Party losing both Senate races, and ultimately control of the U.S. Senate, squarely on the shoulders of Brian Kemp.

But you know what just warmed my heart? In early December, Kemp gave a speech in Athens, Ga. to over 200 members of the Georgia General Assembly, warning them not to attempt to convene a special session to deal with fraudulent voting problems that plagued the state on November 3. They gave him a standing ovation. Meanwhile, the voting electorate was seething in anger. Every one of these representatives who stood for Kemp should be voted out of office.

We cannot ever tolerate corruption in the state of Georgia, especially in our elections. A lie does not like being challenged. Truth does not mind being questioned. Meanwhile, Kemp and Raffensperger fiddle, while Georgia burns.

The Truth About Brian Kemp !

#butthurtinwyoming

So many accusations of wrongdoing at the polls but those making those accusations are admitted liars and are paying out the wazoo for what they attempted to accomplish by so doing.

I would rather the accusations be true but unfortunately they were lies and after being proven to be lies they were confessed to.

As Conservative as I am, I am a long way from being blind or stupid.

Please come forward with some solid evidence of the tons of allegations that have been made, not some made up bullshit on some video with no proof or grounds of factual evidence.

g

JFC DUDE post a friggin link, not the entire book.

There is a link to everything that I post you f-king ass-hole.

"There Are None So Blind as Those Who Will Not See"

If you're waiting for someone to shove it under your nose while you bloviate on this forum,you'll wait until the day you die.

Giza is a delta on the Nile River in Egypt. The finest cotton in the world is grown there.

This has nothing to do with the Gaza Strip and murderous Palestinians, 200 miles away. Du Dummkopf!

Best you check under your own nose. You have not a strand of evidence, zero, zilch, nada, yet you place all your trust in those silver tongued pukes working for your favorite crooked assed news organizations who come forward daily, hourly, with breaking news, allegations one right after another, and all of America knows by now that it's bullshit and will be all forgotten in time for tomorrow's repeated broadcast of the same manure?

Don't you smell it? Open your eyes and you will certainly see it!

C'mon man...

Doesn't change who and what you are.

This. Fox can f uck off and crash like cnn. Dont know why anyone watches that garbage anymore

You cant be serious

You have the evidence? Hell yes I'm serious.

I still laugh every time you post..."mountains of central PA"

Hilarious 😂

Broke back mtn Wyoming is much taller

"Election denier". Typical marxist garbage. But now they can throw you in jail for it.

You've obviously never been there. You fugkin moron.

Yes, I have...and those aren't mountains. Mole hills, like I make out of you.

You're a low life piece of schit and everybody knows it. FOAD, creep.

The first thing the Marxists do is to change and debase the language. Then they make the new word they invented illegal.

At least i can bring some joy to your misreable leftist life. Eat chit

She is a moron. Everyone of her posts proves that

Mountains....PA.... 🤣

Fuqk off Lloyd

I haven't watched anything on Fox for years.

He does live in an alternate universe. But his company makes a good product. I've been using his pillows for years, long before I even knew who he was.

GeoW open your eyes and you'll witness the truth.

They had a voting machine where I vote that was taped off. Out of Order. I asked one of the ladies working there and she whisperd that it was changing peoples votes.

Anyone who knows anything about statistics will find 2000 Mules quite compelling. How did lying joe get 80M votes and lose 18/19 bellwether counties? That's just a start for anyone with their eyes open. Virtually none of the evidence ever saw court adjudication. The whole thing was a scam starting with unconstitutional changes made by unqualified people to the voting laws. Ever look into what was accomplished in swing states with Zuckerbucks. The 2020 election was a monstrous fraud and perhaps the biggest crime in history.

PS, I dumped fox first. Hahaha

Just started reading the replies and exactly this.

What a bunch of BS.

Outright saying the the election denials are lies.

Not "allegedly" like every criminal gets.

Nope.

Lies.


MF'ers...

Never let any kind of canid hump your pillow

Where are you now GW?

I've provided ample evidence that the 2020 election was dubious at best and you've yet to respond.

Do you still believe the 2020 election was legitimate?

Oh wow

Did you hear that Buzzy?

If you missed it, it was simply China, Nepal, Pakistan and even Alaska LOL'ing at you for thinking that those are 'mountains' where you live.

Broke back mtn is pretty high up LOL🤪

I never said I thought it was legit. What I said is you have not shown the evidence to prove it was not legit. You've shown no evidence, only accusations you have been fed by ultra right-wing extremist.
Show me some real evidence, something that will stand up in a court of law. That will get my attention..
What needs doing now is to look ahead as looking back will get you nowhere. The problems are still ahead, now more and bigger than ever, and as you said, "There Are None So Blind as Those Who Will Not See".

So Zuckerburg subverting the system to the tune of near $400M was okay?

And unverified 'mail-in' ballots are okay as well?

Twitter, Facebook and other social media banning any mention of the 'laptop' is okay?

"What needs doing now is to look ahead as looking back will get you nowhere. The problems are still ahead, now more and bigger than ever, and as you said, "There Are None So Blind as Those Who Will Not See".

There is also some kind of famous quote out there about "history repeating itself", no?

"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
~ Winston Churchill

“History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.”
~ Mark Twain

Mark Twain is my kin ppls

He was a hunter as well
The resemblance is uncanny.
( I think it's the hair)

LOL😂😂😂😂😂😂

On top of alla that he had the first pickup truck in the new world!
