Blue Dogs Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Howdy everyone. Unless y'all have been living under rocks during the early part of the Summer, Fox 26 KRIV-TV Houston Reporter Ivory Hecker announced during the 5:00 PM Newscast yesterday evening that she's teaming up with Project Veritas in blowing the whistle on her own company. Something tells me Fox 26 GM & Executive VP D'Artanian Bebel is NOT thrilled with Hecker's Jack Bauer-esque rogue-ness including Hecker's accusations that Fox Corporation has been muzzling her from telling the truth to the viewers: https://mikemcguff.blogspot.com/2021/06/ivory-hecker-fox-26-project-veritas.html The Houston Chronicle's title has Hecker claiming she's been muzzled by Fox 26 & the higher-ups of that station: https://www.chron.com/culture/tv/article/Houston-Fox-26-TV-Ivory-Hecker-Project-Veritas-16249035.php https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Houston-Fox-26-reporter-Ivory-Hecker-alleges-16247795.php Any thoughts on Hecker going off-script on live TV yesterday & the ramifications if she'll keep her job at Fox 26 ? Because once again, I've got a feeling D'Art either didn't know she was going to do this OR found out like everyone else & is PISSED off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 She shouldn't but I mean it's Fox News, the king of false information. Maybe she is trying to get on with OAN. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she is trying to get on with OAN. According to the Houston Chronicle, it appears Hecker got suspended then after more developments, they fired her altogether. It also seems like she had no intention of working with Fox News Channel either & had been plotting to bolt from Fox 26 since last August.

Tumbleweed_Tx Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 do some of y'all not know the difference between a local news channel and a national news channel? Apparently she recorded footage of the (probably also now fired) sales manager of Fox 26 telling how the CDC is buying ads pushing the covid crap, and from what I gather (the sales manager couldn't put two coherent sentences together), the CDC is outbidding other advertisers. These purchases are affecting the news content 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one deserves air time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Another cringe-able moment brought to us by Ms. Hecker. Unfortunately, her embarrassing antics will be reported far and wide, and reinforce perceptions that all of Texas is occupied by hicks and yahoos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3mh Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 If it was 20 years ago, this would have been the end of her career. TV reporters are a dime a dozen and there are always younger and more attractive reporters who are willing to work for nothing coming up every year. But Hecker is probably going to end up getting elevated to a national job at OAN or Blaze or end up with a youtube channel making millions. What is amazing is that her big whistleblower story is just pathetic. Her manager told her she didn't want to run bitcoin stories at 5-6pm because the ratings would be bad due to low income black viewers not being interested in bitcoin. The other scandal is that she thought that Fox News shut her down on stories about hydroxychoroquine because Trump was for it. Fox News. And basically, they did not want her going rogue on social media. The other big revelation: ads go to the highest bidder and the CDC has paid for ad time. And she is unable to provide a concrete example of ad dollars driving content. If she was a journalist who was worth a crap, she would have easily been able to do that. We all know it happens. So, after all of this fuss, she can't even establish what Noam Chomsky and Ed Hermann demonstrated conclusively in Manufacturing Consent 33 years ago. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/Project-Veritas-releases-video-of-Fox-26-reporter-16250476.php 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's also on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These purchases are affecting the news content People who cannot put two coherent sentences together do not become sales managers. However, people who record and edit footage can manipulate it to suit their purposes. For example, if you ask someone an idiotic question, their response will seem strange if taken out of context. Ms. Hecker's demonstrable lack of journalistic ethics and professionalism indicate that she's not above using such ploys to influence the gullible. (PS: Any updates on the sales managers imminent dismissal? Or is this just speculation on your part?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Response Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 “So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.” 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
