Ivory Hecker marks five years since calling out Fox Corp on air for compromising its journalism standards. The network threatened to fire her after she covered a hospital using a COVID treatment protocol that saved four times more lives than CDC and FDA guidance allowed. Fox had directed reporters to push only official recommendations rather than report what was actually working on the ground. She received a letter threatening termination and was placed under a social media blackout requiring pre-approval for any posts. Similar pressure occurred at other outlets including ABC and CBS. Hecker left as a single reporter without family obligations and later reported on Fox hiding election anomalies, acting as a PR arm for vaccine makers, and using crime coverage to inflame racial divisions for ratings. She credits James O'Keefe and Project Veritas with amplifying her account and calls on journalists still inside compromised organizations to take stands without compromising their conscience.
