Mike Lindell says he's pulling MyPillow ads from a Christian radio network because it won't discuss

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said Saturday that he pulled his advertisements from the Christian radio network, Salem.

Lindell announced the move during his marathon 96-hour "Thanks-a-Thon" livestream. Red Voice Media first reported on the news.

During the livestream, the pillow pundit and election conspiracy theorist said in relation to Salem: "They haven't had me on for a long, long time."

He expressed annoyance that Salem apparently never took the time to explain why, in his opinion, the mainstream media had shunned him. He said that "woke" retailers had also "canceled" him and described their actions as "a joke."

Margins were not outstanding in the first place.
The company only had $100,000 per employee in revenues. Just compensation, assuming crappy wages, pulls in 40-45% of revenues. Now, all raw material & operating cost, then SG&A.
So, 20% margins, maybe.
On top of all that, debt to equity was nearly 5, so debt service is profound.
With the big retailers cutting his products, revenues are down 30-35%. (Even he admitted that.)
It's hard to believe they're making money, especially given all the 2/3rds off promotions. That sounds like shedding inventory at a loss to create cash flow.

Possible, but if I'd seen it, I think I'd have remembered it.
As you can see, I've done a lot of digging into his company's finances.
Seems to me, him taking fed money would be something I'd recall.
Unless, of course, I missed it completely. But, just did a quick net search & found nothing.

... heard it from other people. Mike Lindell owes it to the country to clear this up and explain himself. Just saying, I don't know, I don't think so, but why is Mike ducking the issue?
