Fox 26 Houston reporter Ivory Hecker is blowing the whistle on Fox with claims that she has been “muzzled” in an attempt by the network to keep information from viewers.
Hecker announced that she has leaked incriminating recordings to Project Veritas, the non-profit undercover journalism enterprise that made waves in 2009 with their reporting on corruption within the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) during the Obama administration. Hecker was initially reporting on the Texas heatwave causing local power outages.

“I want to let you, the viewers, know that Fox Corp has been muzzling me to keep certain information from you, the viewers, and from what I’m gathering I am not the only reporter being subjected to this. I am going to be releasing some recordings about what goes on behind the scenes at Fox because it applies to you, the viewers. I found a non-profit journalism group called Project Veritas who’s going to help put that out tomorrow, so, tune into them.”
Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe was suspended from Twitter in April after the organization released videos of CNN technical director Charlie Chester admitting that “fear sells” and that his network had been working to get Former President Donald Trump voted out of office. O’Keefe and his team have employed other social media outlets and direct-to-reader distribution lists to disseminate stories to readers.
The contents of Hecker’s recordings are still unknown. Project Veritas quickly became the number one trending topic on Twitter heading into Monday evening.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
