'Fox News has canceled MyPillow': Mike Lindell complains network pulled plug on his ads
Appearing on Steve Bannon's WarRoom" podcast, MyPillow founder Mike Lindell complained that Fox News will no longer carry his ads for his company — a decision that he finds "disturbing."
"Fox News has canceled MyPillow," he told the former Donald Trump White House official.
Lindell, who is facing two massive defamation lawsuits filed by Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic, over his 2020 election conspiracy mongering, suggested that his election fraud claims appear to be a contributing factor in Fox pulling the plug on taking his ad money.
According to a report from Newsweek, Lindell complained, "Ever since I've been speaking out about our election platforms since January '21, they've been attacking my company, MyPillow, with cancel culture...and now Fox News."
In an interview with Newsweek on Friday, he claimed, "This was on Wednesday. I spent a day wondering what to do. It's very, very disturbing news."

Newsweek's Matthew Impelli added, "Lindell told Newsweek that his media team was told by Fox News that they'd no longer be running his ads. According to Lindell, the media team reached back out to Fox News asking for a reason why but they have not yet heard back."
The embattled bedding manufacturer and TV pitchman admitted in October that he could no longer afford attorneys to defend him in his defamation cases, owing millions of dollars in legal fees.
He explained, "We've lost everything, every dime. All of it is gone."
