Ivory Hecker, a reporter for Houston’s Fox 26, surprised the viewers and her bosses during Monday’s 5 p.m. newscast.  On-scene for a live shot about the current heat wave, Hecker  went off-script;

“I want to let you the viewers know, that Fox Corp. has been muzzling me to keep certain information from you, the viewers,” Hecker said on live TV. “And from what I am 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 nonprofit journalism group called Project Veritas that’s going to help put that out tomorrow so tune into them.”

Project Veritas, has already posted the clip to its YouTube channel on Monday. Project Veritas, is a far-right group that targets mainstream news media and left-leaning groups. Hecker now fired by FOX after her drams, was a general assignment reporter and fill-in anchor who joined the station in October 2017. Prior to moving to Houston, Hecker had the same job at KARE, the NBC affiliate in Minneapolis. She also worked as a reporter in Lexington, Kentucky and Columbia, South Carolina after graduating from Syracuse University. Hecker also is a songwriter with a separate Instagram account dedicated to that endeavor.
