The media can be helpful when someone wants to focus attention on a matter of public concern.
It is rarely wise or advised to try your case in the media.
Therein lies my dilemma.
Perhaps an elaboration.
There are 2 brothers, the one who is the defendant in my case owns an agricultural operation, the other owns a concentrated animal feeding operation (dairy). The brother with the dairy has been cited a few times for water pollution from the manure generated by the dairy so his brother stores the manure next to my house, possibly to stop it polluting the water even more.
Another dairy, not associated with the 2 brothers was forced to close some time ago because an animal activist group made a video recording of animal abuse. I have not seen the video but it was supposedly horrific.
Now this is where the environmental groups interest lies.
The brother who has the field next to my house where he is storing the manure is a New Mexico senator. In 2015 he authored a bill to amend the right to farm act to give himself and other farmers more protection from any lawsuits. The bill failed but was reintroduced verbatim in 2016 by another senator and was, according to the media, 'railroaded through'. The brother who is the senator also authored a bill making it a criminal offense to make a video or audio recording inside any dairy. The obvious assumption is that this is an attempt to stop the animal rights groups making any more horrific videos of animal abuse. This also failed.
As I have not attempted to discover the environment groups intent I can only assume that it would in reference to a politicians attempts to introduce or amend laws simply to protect his own interests and the interests of his family.
I'm not sure why the environmental groups want to talk to me because all of this information is a public record and freely available.
