OXON HILL, Md. — Pillow magnate Mike Lindell was on hand at CPAC on Thursday, where he blasted Fox News in a conversation with reporters.

"You can't — what the biggest, disturbing thing is — No. 1 is freedom of press, and it's discrimination. Let's just say: Why Fox? That's the last person I would want to have it, because they've already proven in their defamation lawsuits with Dominion, they didn't subpoena me. They didn't ask me for the evidence. So, what I'm thinkin', what is Fox gonna do? Just put down what they want to put out from Jan. 6? There's people in prison that might want to see some of that. There's me. I want to see some of that for reasons that should be — 40-something-thousand hours of tape! Every news outlet in the country should have it to dive into them and whoever finds the best news first wins, right? That's what it should be."

Lindell went on to cite some of the statements from Murdoch in the deposition, specifically saying that Lindell had appeared on Fox, but he said that he'd only been on the network one time in the past four years. He named the date: Jan. 26, 2021.


"And let me tell you, at that time in history, every news outlet in the country — in the world — called me. I was on Australia, UK, every news outlet," Lindell recalled. "Remember? I was the one holding my hand up at the White House, remember that? Remember when they attacked me and attacked my company?"

1. Wah?

I guess he's trashing Fox somewhere inside that nearly incomprehensible gibberish, but it's hard to tell.

[OAITW r.2.0]

2. So where's the next stop? Newsmax? OAN?

Their options for deluded news is dwindling quickly.

[niyad]

3. How much alcohol do I have to drink before those words make any sense?

[mercuryblues]

4. There isn't enough in the world

But if you want to try, I'll help you.

[niyad]

6. Come on over!

[Hekate]

7. I thought it was just me, Niyad

Mercy!

[niyad]

8. My head hurts! Want to join me for some medicinal coffee?

[Hekate]

10. Oh hell yeah, especially after reading the following...

The Sacramento Dildo Saleswoman Behind the Neo-Nazi Network Advocating for Mass Shootings

I recommend the whole thing at HuffPost if you can stand it.

[niyad]

11. I haven't read the whole article yet. Got as far as atomwaffen mention, and

remembered a documentary that a friend and I watched several years ago about the neonazi hate groups in this country. It was, to say the least, disturbing and appalling. I will read the rest of it in a bit.

[malaise]

14. You'll never have enough for that

incoherent psychobabble

[niyad]

17. Thanks. I was wondering if I should ask my liquor store for an emergency

delivery.

[NJCher]

5. sounds like Lindell went to the

esteemed Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism:

Every news outlet in the country should have it to dive into them and whoever finds the best news first wins, right?

Real sophisticated view of the profession.

[DFW]

9. I stick by the Gilbert and Sullivan rendition

Well, with a little help and revision from me, that is.............

[niyad]

12. You did good, as always. Although. . . .that much of pillowcrack has put me off

eating anything for a bit.

[malaise]

15. You have one for each of them

[Hortensis]

13. I'm not a normally guffawer, but my husband just came in to find

out why I was making so much noise. I think I cackled too. What a jerk.

Not so funny, though, he's going around the country helping energize far-right efforts to make local elections easier for them to steal and control. He doesn't come across as such an idiot to denial idiots eager to use his "big name" to feed the conflagration.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Hcdrh, Cdghuij, Igdrgh,Ubvdsw

That's how I read his statement.

[niyad]

18. Yours makes more sense.

[Hortensis]

21. Hmmm. That sounds a lot better to me too, more...erudite.

[Paladin]

19. So, somewhere in that drooling gibberish...

...is pillow-boy advocating that somebody other than Tucker Carlson should have access to the Jan.6 riot tapes?

I'll wait for the sane grown-up translation to find out.
