The Mike Lindell election lie ad that Fox News declined ran on a Fox-owned station in Minneapolis

An ad for Lindell's self-proclaimed “cyber symposium” aired in Minnesota

Written by Zachary Pleat

Published 08/09/21 6:14 PM EDT

A commercial ad from MyPillow CEO and known election liar Mike Lindell for his “cyber symposium” ran on Sunday evening on the Fox Television Stations-owned KMSP in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Lindell is hosting the event this week to continue boosting a wide range of far-out conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

After Fox News declined to air Lindell’s ad and he retaliated by pulling his MyPillow commercials from the network, many other right-wing media outlets and figures aired Lindell’s ad and promoted the event. Some of them even criticized Fox News for refusing to air Lindell’s ad. 

But on August 8, Lindell’s ad ran during a commercial break for the 9 o’clock evening news broadcast of at least one Fox-owned television station. (h/t @jernbergnation):
