Ivory Hecker was introduced to report on sweltering weather for Fox 26 Houston on Monday when she prefaced her on-air piece with a bombshell for her employer.
'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,' Hecker announced. '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,' she added. 'I found a non-profit journalism group called Project Veritas that is going to help put that out tomorrow, so tune in then.'

The 32-year-old then continued onto her report on the recent bad weather and power outages in Houston before handing back to her colleagues in the studio who made no reference to what she had said.
A spokesman for Project Veritas revealed that the group will be publishing an interview with Hecker on Tuesday evening.

He told Insider that the reporters are set to discuss 'corruption' and 'censorship' at Fox and 'blowing the whistle' on how corporate journalism is 'broken.'

Recently Project Veritas has spoken to Facebook whistleblowers who insist that the social network has been censoring vaccine skeptics throughout the pandemic.
The founder of Project Veritas, James O'Keefe, even appeared on Sean Hannity's Fox News show to promote the story, revealing dossiers which he said showed Facebook was testing a 'beta' version of its algorithm to smash anti-vaxxers.
Fox has been happy to watch O'Keefe go after its broadcasting rivals but now finds itself in the spotlight.
Fox TV Stations have yet to be reached for comment.
