Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Fox News appears to have cut ties with the conservative bedding brand My Pillow, once one of the network’s largest and most prominent advertisers.
My Pillow Founder and CEO Mike Lindell announced that the right-wing news network revoked their advertising deals with the brand on Thursday during a broadcast of the Steve Bannon “War Room” show.
Lindell added that he had not been given an explicit reason for the cancellation, but speculated that the rupture might have been motivated by Monday’s Iowa caucuses, the first battle of the 2024 Republican primary.
A source with knowledge of the situation confirmed to Rolling Stone that the network’s partnership My Pillow “was paused due to the fact Mike Lindell hasn’t been able to finance the commercials and this was communicated to his media agency at length.”
In recent years, Lindell has been embroiled in a series of lawsuits stemming from his public peddling of conspiracy theories on behalf of former President Donald Trump in the aftermath of his 2020 election loss.
In April, Fox News agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by Dominion which included an astounding $787.5 million payment to the company.
