A local news reporter for Fox 26 in Houston said the company that owns the station has been “muzzling” her.
Ivory Hecker, a general assignment reporter and fill-in anchor for the station, preceded a news report on a heatwave in Texas on Monday by announcing a plan to release recordings about the Fox Corporation with the help of Project Veritas.

“Before we get to that story, 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 am gathering, I am not the only reporter being subjected to this,” she said. “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, but as for this heatwave across Texas, you can see what it’s doing to AC units,” Hecker added.
Project Veritas, the investigative reporting group founded by James O’Keefe, has earned a mixed record for its operations, including allegations of misleading editing.
