Greene is a paid FNC contributor with frequent appearances on Fox News and Fox Business. She has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, including The O'Reilly Factor, MTV News, The Daily Show, Anderson Cooper 360, Dennis Miller Live, CBS Evening News, NBC Nightly News, Bloomberg Television, NPR's News and Notes with Ed Gordon, Democracy Now with Amy Goodman, and Tavis Smiley's State of Black America.
On the May 4, 2012 edition of America Live, referred to fellow debater Tucker Carlson as a "bow-tying white boy", in a discussion about Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren's decision to list herself as a member of a racial minority in the Association of American Law Schools desk book, a directory of law professors, in the 1980s and 1990s, because her great-great-great-grandmother was listed as Cherokee. Carlson told Greene to stop name-calling, but Greene denied calling Carlson a name. Host Megyn Kelly later apologized to Carlson and her audience for the remark on behalf of the program, calling it "an inappropriate name" that was "not consistent with our standards". The "inappropriate name" was defined as a racial, or ethnic slur, since it refers to Tucker Carlson's race as being white. Multiple news outlets identified the comment as inappropriate and that Greene did not apologize on air. Later it was reported that Irena Briganti, Group Senior Vice President at FOX News Channel & FOX Business Network said, “Jehmu apologized to Tucker by phone after the segment and he accepted her apology.”
Greene was recognized as one of Essence Magazine's 40 Women Under 40 Shaping the World, and received the National Conference for Community and Justice's Community Service Award, American Association of University Women's Women of Distinction Award and National Council for Research on Women - Women Making a Difference Award. Essence Magazine also named Greene one of the 35 Most Beautiful and Remarkable Women in the World.

Famous quotes containing the word news:
“I don’t have any problem with a reporter or a news person who says the President is uninformed on this issue or that issue. I don’t think any of us would challenge that. I do have a problem with the singular focus on this, as if that’s the only standard by which we ought to judge a president. What we learned in the last administration was how little having an encyclopedic grasp of all the facts has to do with governing.”
—David R. Gergen (b. 1942)
