CNN announced Wednesday that it had fired a senior producer of its Sunday talk show "State of the Union" over allegations of inappropriate behavior. "A comprehensive investigation was conducted as soon as this matter was brought to our attention," CNN said in a statement. "The behavior attributed to Mr. Davis does not align with the standards and values of CNN and Mr. Davis is no longer with the company." "State of the Union" host Jake Tapper tweeted praise for CNN executives, who he said acted "swiftly and appropriately, as they should." According to Davis' LinkedIn page, he worked as ABC News' deputy director of political coverage prior to joining CNN.
