Demand that the Portland and Bangor Maine NBC affiliates stop running ads for My Pillow products
MyPillow CEO, Mike Lindell is a supporter of far right political activity and has aggressively pushed conspiracy theories, including those espoused by the insurrectionist mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. His products have been taken off the shelves at retailers such as Bed, Bath & Beyond, Kohl's and Costco. Your station, Portland Maine NBC affiliate, WCSH and the Bangor Maine sister station, WLBZ, continue to run ads for MyPillow during the Rachael Ray show. I have emailed and called you on this subject and you have not yet responded. I am asking you to cut ties Mike Lindell/MyPillow by ceasing to air his ads.
Why is this important?
WCSH in Portland Maine has recently been airing public service announcements by many of their news anchors and reporters highlighting their commitment to airing factual information and standing behind the truth. The fact that the station continues to air advertisements by a far right conspiracy theorist who refuses to acknowledge the results of the 2020 election seems to me to be hypocritical and hollow. Station managers need to walk the walk and not just talk the talk.
