MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has released a three-hour documentary about his baseless allegations of electoral fraud, which this week sparked an on-air feud between Lindell and anchors on the conservative network Newsmax.
The film, entitled “Absolute Proof,” will be available online on cable television and streamed for 12 hours on One America News Network.
The conservative channel, which has made false claims about the election in recent months, places a disclaimer on Lindell’s film stating that it is paid programming and “view only”.
It also distanced itself from Lindell’s statements about Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic USA, two voting technology companies at the forefront of conspiracy theories put forward by former President Trump

Dominion Voting Systems threatened to sue Lindell over his claims in January.
Smartmatic was charged earlier this week Rudy Giuliani

Liberal group Media Matters took note of the disclaimer and the fact that OAN would air the film for 12 consecutive hours.

Conspiracy theories surrounding the election were at the center of the attack by a pro-Trump mob on the Capitol last month, which interrupted Congressional certification of the Electoral College’s results.
The riot underscored the danger of conspiracy theories. Five people died in the riot, including a Capitol Police officer. A number of agents were seen in videos being attacked by Mafia people.
Lindell’s baseless allegations of electoral fraud led to his removal from Twitter.
Earlier this week, a Newsmax presenter finished an on-air interview with Lindell, apparently fearing the CEO of MyPillow would make fraudulent claims about the election.
