NEW YORK – Minnesota pillow manufacturer Mike Lindell has pulled his $20 million advertising campaign from Fox News. The network had refused Lindell’s controversial new political ads to rally supporters for an insurrection Trump presidency. The ads promoted a “cyber symposium” at which he proposed to prove that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump through the manipulation of voting machines. The ads for the symposium were separate from Lindell’s massive campaign pitching his MyPillow product. The pillow been a major Fox revenue source.
Suddenly toxic
Right-wing media, which once lavished coverage on Lindell, has become shy of him. The Dominion voting machine company has sued several media companies for reckless libel in carrying Lindell’s unproven claims of voting fraud in the 2020 election.
