The MyPillow guy made a movie of lies about the election. These corporations beamed it into millions of homes.
popular.info
Mike Lindell, the founder and CEO of MyPillow, created a two-hour movie that uses discredited conspiracy theories to claim that Trump was the real winner of the 2020 election. These are the same lies that motivated a mob to attack the United States Capitol on January 6 — a riot that left five people dead. Nevertheless, on Friday, several major corporations broadcast Lindell's fever dream into millions of American homes.
After hearing my issue, the rep checked with a supervisor then logged my complaint and said it would be escalated, whatever that means. Basically, I went on record saying that even though I’m a wireless customer only and have been for many years, I will be taking note of the company’s decision whether or not to continue supporting anti-democratic, seditious propaganda and brushing OAN content off as “not our business”. I said I’d be sorry to go but will switch to another company and won’t look back. Thank you, thank you, for this fine work you are doing. It is an honor to support Popular Information.
I watched OAN and NewsMax for less than 10 minutes in the fall and again recently. The rabbit hole folks love them. They now call Fox liberal.
It is scary to know these folks claim to have the right to their beliefs. Even if they are all based on lies. Is that the 1st amendment on speed? Solomon would even have a tough time with this one.
Scarier yet thus weekend I had confrontation with people who went to the rally and though the say they have videos of people changing clothes that were Antifa, they ponied up no videos or sources.
I suggested deprogramming was in order. Boy did that throw gas on the fire. Facts and sources mean nothing to these believers. Killing elected officials that may have been planned rings full on their ears. Due process to those they don't like means nothing. When I asked about the possible killing without charges, judge, jury, just executioners that could have happened, I was called a liberal. These people own businesses, do community work here in VA. Not all followers are ingnorant, but Q, Trump, OAN, My Pillow reinforce their anger, their hate and give them someone to blame. Nazi Germany 1938.
Therein, will be this long day in American History.
At the heart of this, Trump is an emotional thing to them, the deep rooted follower. He appealed to their anger, hatred and too what they perceive is unfair. The far right media do the same. The rabbit hole is open on TeeVee and hiding in social media and the Internet. My Pillow guy feeds the anger in the same way.
We can hope Dominion's lawyers add him to the list of lawsuits. The feeding frenzy of these people is chummed daily. I fear it will get worse, before it gets better.
P.S.
Judd, what do you know about Roger Stone and his shenanigans with the Jan. 6 insurrection?
Thank you for shining a spotlight on this. Roku, AT&T & Verizon MUST take responsibility for the platform they provide for these seditious lies. They have the power, we must make them use it.
I am always floored by your reporting. I wish this type of journalism was more mainstream. Feels like the news tries to present both sides as reasonable instead of presenting facts and information and debunking as they go. Seems the loud and ignorant receive way too much airtime. It’s getting old!
Any suggestions on how those who see the need to express concerns to Roku directly can accomplish this via a call or an email. I checked their site and it does not look like you can do that except through technical support???
Once again Judd you are holding these corporations accountable and I love it. I don't know what pausing donations does to hinder lying when they simultaneously broadcast a "movie" that is nothing but lies to the American people. Starting the movie with a disclaimer isn't good enough by a long shot. If OAN actually cared about what they broadcast, they wouldn't have broadcast that giant lie at all. AT&T cares about their bottom line - period. I LOVE that you are making these companies reckon with themselves. They're all so quick to denounce anti-democratic actions like not certifying the election. But then they turn around and broadcast and anti-democratic 'film' produced by a literal psychopath in Lindell. That man needs serious mental help.
keep spreading this news. We all have a choice of providers for our phones, our computers and everything we buy. We can all vote with our $$$ just as these brands do. I had no idea. Thank you!
Great article; but, I am surprised that Mike Lindell, My Pillow and OAN have not yet been included in the various libel proceedings by Dominion. Or have they?
I’ve just called AT&T customer service.

OAN is so insane, it makes Fox News looks positively rational by comparison.

What are the right/ best ways to send a clear message to these companies about taking responsibility for their aiding/ abetting of sedition?

It sure would be helpful to know if there are --any-- cable or wireless providers who --aren't-- funding these fanatics or pushing their propaganda.
