NBC Cameraman Houston Hall agreed, attributing the continued large-scale coverage to the public relations skills of AIM leaders. Indeed, AIM'S Russell Means, for example, cannily orchestrated events within Wounded Knee for the press's benefit. "Cameras over here," he called out one afternoon, directing photographers to where bunkers were being enlarged. Then AIM forces "arrested" four men attempting to enter their compound.
