But try telling that to Mike Lindell, the embattled CEO-founder of MyPillow, who whined on his website and on Steve Bannon's podcast on Friday that Fox News pulled his ads off the air----again. Lindell claims he's being cancelled. He's not, but, following the Donald Trump playbook, he's lying to his audience.
In reality, Fox News pulled the ads because, as the subject suggests, Lindell hasn't paid his bills in several months. Given his legal troubles over relentlessly lying about the 2020 election, and claims that he might not have enough money handy to pay what he owes, this is understandable.
Lindell destroyed his reputation by hitching his wagon to the Trump Train, falling for the con that Trump was a Christian (he's not), which Lindell should've seen through. MyPillow was pulled from retailers such as Walmart, Bed, Bath, & Beyond, and others either because they weren't moving a lot of units, or because of Lindell's association with Trump, take your pick.
Lindell speculated that because he hired on former CNN & Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, that's why Fox dumped him. No, that's not even close to the truth, because Dobbs, while he, too, was implicated in the election fraud lies, had nothing to do with Fox News' decision to pull advertising.
It's just business. What Lindell needs now is divine intervention, but I hear God left him on hold........
