A Syracuse University alumna has been fired from her job at Fox 26 News (KRIV-TV) in Houston in June 2021 after accusing the television station of “muzzling” her.
Ivory said,
"I want to let you the viewers know that Fox Corp. has been muzzling me to keep certain information from you."
She added,
"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,"
Ivory also mentioned sending secret recordings to Project Veritas, James O’Keefe’s far-right organization.
On Tuesday, Project Veritas released a 10-minute extended surreptitious recorded footage. There Fox 26 assistant news director Lee Meier was seen telling Hecker that the station does not do more stories about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies because they don’t appeal to their “poor African-American audience” at 5 p.m.

In another video, Lee Meier and Fox 26 vice president and news director Susan Schiller told Ivory that she failed as a reporter because she kept promoting hydroxychloroquine, a Covid-19 cure found to be largely ineffective against the coronavirus.
During an interview with the Daily Beast, Ivory said she never wants to work in corporate media again. She said,
“I have been longing to part ways with this strange, slightly unhinged corporation since last August when I realized what they were. I would turn down Fox News. They wanted to bring me up to the network. I met a lot of executives there and I don’t want to talk to them anymore. It came from one of the top executives there that what I needed to succeed was to get in line with the narrative.”
On the other hand, a Fox News spokesperson told the Daily Beast that they had a single meeting only as a courtesy and was never offered a job.
