In The Media
In 1989, Jodi Hernandez was part of a group of reporters that investigated the Aggressive Christians from March to September through KOVR-TV, CBS channel 13 Sacramento. Disturbing revelations were made of alleged treatment by the Greens against children and adults. These were graphically described by former members in this report.
In December 1999, Darren White, former secretary of the Department of Public Safety for New Mexico, and then reporter for KRQE, CBS channel 13, Albuquerque, reported on the Greens.
On November 4, 2005, Jim Maniaci, of the Gallup Independent's Cibola County Bureau in Grants, reported on the co-leader of an isolated religious group who was jailed on an aggravated battery with a deadly weapon charge named Jim Green. The article reported that Green was booked into the Cibola County Detention Center on October 29 after an altercation with two other men at the Shim Ra Na Holy Tribal Nation farm near Fence Lake in the rural southwestern portion of the county.
In June, 2006, Annie McCormick of KRQE, CBS channel 13, Albuquerque, NM, also investigated the Greens using first hand reports from former members and families.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“One can describe a landscape in many different words and sentences, but one would not normally cut up a picture of a landscape and rearrange it in different patterns in order to describe it in different ways. Because a photograph is not composed of discrete units strung out in a linear row of meaningful pieces, we do not understand it by looking at one element after another in a set sequence. The photograph is understood in one act of seeing; it is perceived in a gestalt.”
