He only does that for the cameras. He'd have some lackey call you up and give you the bad news, because he is a chickenshit.

Extremely interesting if true: Also: Lindell lawsuit is devastating. I thought naming My Pillow itself might be too far but nope. After reading, absolutely legitimate defendant along with Lindell. Company's over. And it finances Fox, Newsmax with its commercials. So this is conservative propaganda armageddon. https://t.co/vNDxSpQ7eW— Kurt Eichenwald (@kurteichenwald) February 22, 2021
While taking down MyPillow may dent conservative media.. The only way it turns in an Armageddon is if they are able to take out the Mercers. Robert Mercer, of Cambridge Analytical fame, has been the financial backer for Breitbart and his daughter Rebekah is the money behind Parler
Good thing they have other advertising options. It doesn't really say much for a conservative operation for it to run as a charity instead of a business.
I paged through the lawsuit today. What struck me is the amount of effort that the Dominion lawyers had to go through to debunk the little evidence that Lindell showed. Lindell tweeted a page of computer stuff - IP addresses and MAC addresses - and said that it shows that the data was going from Dominion machines to overseas locations, getting changed and coming back to the Dominion machines. They painstakingly went through the IP addresses (which are for election offices) and the MAC addresses (which were made up). It just sucks that some asshole in Macedonia can whip out a page of computer gobbledygook, send it off to an unwitting pawn who publishes it on their fake news website, and then a rich guy blabs about it on Fox News so it gets widespread attention, and the amount of effort required to debunk it is huge. They can come up with 100 more pages of bullshit in the time it takes to debunk the first page of bullshit. As they say, a lie gets halfway around the world while the truth is still getting out of bed.
One of the differences between fake news and "real" news is that "real" news sources want you to pay - subscribe to the Post or the Times or the Journal or whatever, and if you don't subscribe, sometimes you can't see the whole article. Fake news just wants to get out there as widely as possible - nobody is making you pay to see a story on Breitbart. And that's because, for the people who are paying for the fake news - the Mercers, or Russia, or whatever - getting the fake news widely distributed is an investment, which they hope will result in whatever their goals are - the Mercers want lower taxes, and probably slavery to make a comeback, and Russia wants to destabilize the US - and it's not that expensive to pay for a bunch of fake news to help further their goals.
No one is expecting conservatism to end because of the lawsuits, but it will be extremely fun to see Fox and all the linked actors struggling with the legal consequences and revenue reduction. I also know that Fox and OAN will probably survive (unlike MyPillow) and that a great portion of their viewers will act as if they’re being unjustly prosecuted, but it will definitely be a long and bumpy road, and I will sure enjoy the spectacle.
