Gassed at CNN
Denounced and deserted, Tailwind producer is not dispirited
In the meantime, Oliver has heard that an edict has been handed down at CNN forbidding her close friends to help her in any way, and she's been "having a hard time," she says, getting her mail and messages. ("I'm not aware of anything official like that," says CNN spokesperson Steve Haworth. "But I can't deny that no one in the organization has said something along those lines.") There have, however, been reassuring things happening as well. "I've been getting a lot of invitations from journalism schools, radio talk-show hosts and other organizations to speak, and I don't think that Jack and I would be getting those if some people didn't believe us." She maintains hope, if not for vindication, then at least for a deeper critique, in a broader forum, of the story she and Smith tried to tell. "I think that over time we will find that Tailwind was not the only incident of this kind. I don't know if that will happen fast enough for me to work in television again," she says. "But I will never regret doing that piece."
