Fox News CEO personally sent Mike Lindell a gift to woo him back to Fox

The December 2020 emails describing the outreach to Mike Lindell from the very top of Fox News was revealed as part of the Fox / Dominion lawsuit

New emails disclosed as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ lawsuit against Fox News revealed that following Mike Lindell’s disastrous appearance on Newsmax in December 2020, Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott sent Lindell a personal gift and note. In the Newsmax interview transcript sent to Scott, Lindell called Fox News’ election night coverage “garbage” and claimed Fox refused to promote his book and removed MyPillow advertisements from the network. 

Scott sent Lindell a note and gift, even telling Executive Vice President Jeff Collins “if there is anything more we can do there let me know” and clarified that the network had promoted Lindell’s book.

In January 2021 Collins changed his tune, claiming Lindell was a “bad association” for the network after he appeared at the White House holding a note that said Trump should call for “martial law if necessary.” MyPillow remains a top Fox News advertiser, with ads spiking in 2022.
