Five years ago today I called out Fox Corp live on air, then did several independent reports on how theyโd become compromised:
โซ๏ธFox had threatened to fire me for covering the story they assigned me to cover, all because the true narrative was different from the โsafeโ narrative they had anticipated.
โซ๏ธThe true narrative was that four times more lives were being saved at a hospital that used a COVID treatment protocol that the CDC/FDA recommended against using.
โซ๏ธFox had been pushing its reporters to only tell people to do what the CDC/FDA said to do, rather than pursuing journalism which is: Go out and see what people are actually doing and cover whatโs actually working and not working.
โซ๏ธSo when Fox sent me to a hospital to cover COVID treatment, they expected me to report the copy/paste version of what CDC/FDA said to tell people was happening.
โซ๏ธWhen I adhered to journalism and covered what was actually happening there, Fox issued a letter for my files, lying about me, threatening to fire me, and they put me on a social media blackoutโno posting anything unless it is โsafe newsโ approved by management before the post.
โซ๏ธAll because I approached a COVID story the same way I approached crime stories: Go out there, be curious, ask the peopleโs questions, report whatโs actually happening.
โซ๏ธWhen Fox crossed the line and later sent their HR lady in Atlanta after me to tell me standing up for free speech is not something Iโm allowed to do, I knew it was time to leave that compromised company. (Iโve posted all the receipts from this showdown in the past and still have more receipts I havenโt posted.)
โซ๏ธI left the company and then found out there were Fox Corp employees all over the nation going through similar stories. I heard from staff at other news companiesโABC, CBS, etc.โwith very similar stories.
โซ๏ธIt was much easier for me to leave and sound the alarm as a single girl who didnโt have a family to provide for. My heart goes out to those who have not left and are still within the compromised machine at news companies across the country.
โซ๏ธMay you find a way to take a stand, even if from the inside. Never compromise your conscience. Take a standโeven a small oneโand God will protect you. Lifeโs too short not to.
โซ๏ธWeโre not in the pandemic anymore, but there are countless news stories where the corporations just donโt have the spine to tell the truth, and theyโre ready to persecute their reporters for sticking with journalism.
โซ๏ธYes, COVID treatment was not the only story Fox was compromised on. I went on to cover how they hid anomalies related to elections to help viewers believe elections are always perfect. I covered how they acted as a PR team for vaccine companies rather than seeking answers to their viewersโ concerns about them. And I covered how they used crime coverage to deceptively pit races against each other in an effort to increase ratings.
โซ๏ธI thank
@JamesOKeefeIII and
@Project_Veritas from the bottom of my heart for picking up my story and sending it so viral. I do believe it made at least a small difference in challenging news outlets to get back to honesty over โsafety.โ
