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.

His withdrawal from Fox News would be a blow to the network, which counted MyPillow as one of its biggest commercial sponsors.
“It’s unfortunate Mr. Lindell has chosen to pause his commercial time on Fox News given the level of success he’s experienced in building his brand through advertising on the number-one cable-news network,” the network said in a statement to The Journal.
Lindell said his company spent almost $50 million on Fox News ads last year and dished out $19 million for spots this year, per The Journal.
MyPillow has also been the Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s biggest advertiser after several sponsors, including IHOP and Voya Financial, dropped spots from his show “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in 2018.
“Shame on you, Fox! Go to Frankspeech.com,” Lindell wrote on his Facebook page on Friday, with a link to the Journal report.
The voting-machine company Dominion Voting Systems sued Lindell for $1.6 billion this year over his election-fraud claims, alleging defamation, and he has countersued. He has been an outspoken supporter of 2020 election-fraud theories. Barred from Twitter, he also launched his own social-media site and a rival to Amazon.
Good for him pulling out. This is the way we can fight back. Hurt them in their pockets. TURN THE OFF!!!!
No evidence of wide spread voter fraud!?!?!?! ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING!
Except in the seven states that have done recounts in suspect counties and two more states that that need to be but run by dems that have so far kept the recounts from happening. In the limited recounts done already Trump has enough votes to have won handily. Stop listening to the msm run by the dems who know they have stuffed ballot boxes, double run binder votes and changed rules even though they had orders from judges that they could make the changes prior to the election. Besides that, yeah, not fraud at all

What a lunatic!
“Election officials – Democratic and Republican alike, have found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.”
Seriously not been paying attention? Fraud was plentiful, and election officials were/are often at the base of it.
Patriots4freedom…needs to do better. Tired of stonewallers. Tired of misinformation, when they know the cheaters are still doing steps to perpetuate it.
Good for him! Fox is not the conservative’s friend. They fall somewhere between McCain & Warren.
Sick & tired of My Pillow guy, good riddance.
Stick to your guns mike and you know where to stick them.
Having second thoughts on FOX
1. I praise Lindell for standing up for his principles.
2. For Fox to succumb to the Cancel Culture is a step backwards for America. Where does it stop?
3. Thank God those nausiating commercials will stop.
Seems to me that anyone that tries to offer any evidence of voter fraud is cancelled. Why not let him state his case. What would be the harm in it. Audits are being ignored also. There was voter fraud and we all know it. The harm is letting a senile babbling idiot run the country and drive it to ruin. All Fox talks about is what is going wrong at the boarder, the spread of Covid by illegals, the possibility of forced Covid vaccinations, and what ever else the Democrats are doing to destroy our country. Why not offer up some proof and get the REAL President in the white house!
great we will buy online to hell with the libs at fox I quit watching I wish some would move to Oann or Newsmax or start their own
“Shame on you, Fox!” – wrote Lindell on his Facebook page. Shame on you, Fox, for your lies, I say – a witness who watched the 2020 elections live until 3 am, where the Republicans won by a giant margin. And in the morning, they suddenly announced that the Democrats won. Who voted exclusively for Biden with 3 to 8 am?
SO BIDEN WANTS US TO TO MASK UP ? LOL GET VACCINE? LOL NOBODY LISTENS TO A FOLLOWER, I WOULD LISTEN TO DRUG CARTELS FIRST, AFTER ALL THEY ARE RUNNING BIDEN AND THE SOUTHERN BORDER! BIDEN I HOPE IT’S REALLY WORTH IT FOR YOU HURTING AMERICANS ON EVERY POLICY AND ACCOMMODATING FOR ALL THOSE ILLEGALS! VIRUS CAN’T POSSIBLY BE AS BAD AS THEY CLAIM IT TO BE OR THEY WOULDN’T HAVE AN OPEN BORDER! DOESN’T MAKE SENSE WHAT SO EVER ! IMPEACH BIDEN NOW ! WHAT A STUPID ADMINISTRATION!
So Fox is now giving in to cancel culture because they won’t run an ad from Mike Lindell about his evidence of voter fraud! Fox is acting like the rest of the news outlets, they don’t think that the American people can think for themselves!
FOX IS BEING HYPOCRITICAL!
Good for Mike for standing up to those that think otherwise!
the freedom of speech is never heard as loud as when it is backed up with the dollar. right or wrong he has the right to pull his advertising. I do hope it got the attention of the owners. many now are out to quell the conservatives voice many were trusted names like Disney. all now pandering to the special intrest groups whose values were manufactured to accommodate and normalize perversions of natures humanity. they all want us to recognize and allow their actions without our opinion when civilization fails all these pervisions will not be tolerated.——-Grampa
