Doesn’t Fox already say that they aren’t news but are actually entertainment?
If he’s not careful, he won’t have any platforms to lie on at all.
I was thinking more along the line of “crackpots”
I don’t watch Fox"News". I do not have the stomach for it, but one day, I was picking up food at a bar, and Tucker Carlson was on a TV there, thankfully with the sound down. He was basically reading an opinion piece from a hyper reich wing commentator, with the words also printed in the sidebar. Same old bullshit. But they kept cutting away to commercials, and the ONLY product commercials were for MyPillowGuy’s bedsheets and towels. All the other commercials were for scam charities to “Save America Now” or some such nonsense. What will Tuckums do with NO more actual advertisers?
Be suckered for free?
Cry into his pillow?
This is all a distraction to keep us from talking about Trump’s taxes being turned over to investigators in Congress:
Or maybe to distract of from learning that last December Trump told DOJ officials to throw the election his way and they told him no:
Or maybe to distract us from this:
Well, I figure that’s each of the wheels on the bus coming off.
Only when they get sued. Lying in court carries consequences. In public, it only carries profits.
If obama said the sky was blue, fox weather would deny the sky exists
The ad pull is not inconsiderable. According to advertising data firms, MyPillow ads accounted for 37.8% of revenue for Tucker Carlson’s show in 2020 and about $50m in total for the network that year.
Selling pillows is a big enough business to provide an advertising budget of $50m?!
Mike, you went to the wrong channel for porn.
Damn right!
Call 'em what they are!
And the word conveys a multitude of meanings & images.
Jack-booted Goose-steppers, for one…

It’s bigger than that.
Fox isn’t the only network he advertises on.
I saw a recent clip of some Fox-hole, whose name escapes me, trying to downplay climate change by saying, “So the ocean rises a few inches in the next century?” I’m now imagining that 24 hours a day…
I agree with Mike Lindell here, which is something I never thought I’d say. Fox News has turned on the American people. Well maybe not turned but they’re definitely not for the American people. I would be happy if they would stick with reporting the weather. I support a boycott of advertising revenue to Fox (and decreased sales for My Pillow as well).
You could tell who’s watching by the people stubbornly refusing to carry umbrellas in the rain because Fox said it’s sunny.

Same thing as he’s done when his show has lost advertisers in the past: enjoy being paid millions to run as a loss leader with the blessing of Lachlan Murdoch.

In this case, they’ll just find other purveyors of dubious goods and services willing to pay slightly lower bargain-basement rates than Pillow Idiot did. Less revenue for Faux News in general is a good thing, though.
There’s a terrifying/amusing profile on Lindell by Anne Applebaum in The Atlantic:
In the time I spent with Mike Lindell, I came to learn that he is affable, devout, philanthropic—and a clear threat to the nation.
