MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell\u2019s war with Fox News is heating up as he launched yet another attack on the right-wing network where he was once a fixture both in ads and as a guest on its shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhere\u2019s Fox? Where\u2019s Fox?\u201d he demanded, weeks after pulling his once-ubiquitous ads from the network. \u201cFox, you need to step it up and help save our country!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Speaking with the right-wing OAN network, Lindell was still angry with Fox News for its decision last month not to air ads for his\u00a0\u201cCyber Symposium\u201d event, which he claimed would feature evidence of fraud in the 2020 election.<\/p>\n
It did not, and even one of Lindell\u2019s own experts called the so-called evidence \u201ca turd.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Lindell called out Fox News over it, specifically naming network hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe truth is, you\u2019re not saying anything on your show,\u201d he ranted at Hannity. \u201cNeither are you, Laura.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was a little less harsh toward Tucker Carlson, although he did get the name wrong.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTrucker tried a few times to talk about the 2020 election, I give him some credit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The failed soothsayer \u2015 who had previously predicted that Donald Trump would somehow be swept back into office on Aug. 13 \u2015 was once a loyal advertiser on Fox News. He stuck with Carlson even as other advertisers pulled their spots in response to the host\u2019s increasingly extremist, racist and xenophobic rhetoric.<\/p>\n
The New York Times said last year that as of midway through 2020,\u00a0MyPillow spots had made up more than a third of the $75 million in ads spent on Carlson\u2019s show.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he said last month it was all over, telling The Daily Beast that he had no plans to ever advertise on the network again.<\/p>\n
