MyPillow CEO Goes Scorched Earth Against 'Criminals' At Fox News

During an exceptionally angry tirade on his show this week, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell railed against Fox News and declared them to be "criminals to our country." Lindell is still upset that Fox won't let him come on the air to spread his lies and conspiracies about the 2020 election, and he wants the world to know how angry he is at the network. Apparently the other right wing networks that are hosting Lindell just aren't good enough for him, as Farron Cousins explains.

On Monday, Mike Lindell on, I guess, one of his little shows that he does for Frank speech, I think this was called Lindell TV or something, whatever it was. Mike Linde got super at Fox news for not allowing him to push his conspiracy theories and election lies. So seemingly out of nowhere, Mike Linde goes all off on this insane tangent about how horrible Fox news is. Take a look, here's Linde saying it himself about how he feels with Fox news. Take a look.

That's when Fox went silent us, we badmouth Fox every night here on this show, shame on Fox. They've done more damage to our country than all the media combined because we expected them to speak out. Just at least talk about the, you know, at least be a journalist. It's like being a weather channel doctor and you can't report tornadoes or hurricanes. You can report everything else, but you can't report the worst thing the election, or you can't talk about anything negative about the vaccines or therapeutics that work. You cannot do that on Fox. Fox is in, uh, their they're criminals to our country, period. Yes. I hope the Murdoch are watching, right?

They're not Mike they're the, the, the Murdoch are not watching your idiotic channel. Um, and even if they see the clip, because of course everybody's posted it to talk about how, uh, loony you are. They're they're not gonna care. They're not gonna be scared. Right? I don't think Rupert Murdoch is sitting there in his mansion thinking, oh God, I hope Mike Linde doesn't insult me today. Oh dear. I hope Mike Linde. Doesn't my flagship network. That would be the worst thing in the world to happen to me. Oh, blasted. He did it. Yeah. Rupert Murdoch doesn't care. Rupert Murdoch does not care about you, Mike Linde, most of the country. Doesn't we just kind of like to laugh at you sometimes because you say such ridiculously outlandish thing. Now look, I agree with you, but for different reasons, that Fox news is absolutely horrible for the United States of America.

Would I call them criminals to our country though? No Fox news behavior is absolutely disgusting and disturbing, but their on air behavior is, is actually not criminal. You said there quote criminals to our country. Here's a fun fact about calling somebody a criminal by the way, folks. Um, did you know, legally speaking, you are not allowed to call somebody a criminal. If they haven't actually been convicted convict of a crime. If you refer to somebody as a criminal and they have not ever been convicted of a crime that is defamation slander, liable, uh, liable, depending on where it's published, whether it's spoken or written. Um, but yeah, that's actually something that is very easy to win in a defamation or slander liable lawsuit. So Fox Rupert Murdoch. I hope you're watching this because you could absolutely Sue Michael andele for that statement right there. And you'd win.

You you'd win pretty quickly because legally again, you can't just call somebody a criminal because you don't like them again. I hate Fox news, but I'm not about to go on the air and call them criminals one, because they're not two, because I'm smart enough to know the legal repercussions of saying something that isn't true about the reputation of somebody else. I mean, my God, how many times does Mike Lindell have to screw up? Finally, somebody steps in and says enough is enough. And I'm not just talking about the court systems folks. I mean, after all his defamation suit, uh, that he's hit with, from dominion voting system, that case is like two to three years out from going to trial. Like, we're gonna have to keep talking about this for two to three years until we get that re, but come on, Fox hit him with a lawsuit or even better.

I'll tell you what's even better. One of Mike Lindell's friends, right? Somebody that genuinely cares about the guy, right? Can one of y'all please like take him aside and be like, Hey man, um, is everything okay? Right. Do you do, do you need some to talk to, do you wanna, you wanna take a trip with me? Let's let's go talk to some professionals. I'm not kidding.
