CNN is now dealing with poor ratings in the cable news market and has just been the target of another controversy. It will be fascinating to watch how the network adjusts and bounces back from this most recent setback given how rapidly viewing is shifting.
One of CNN’s top producers was unexpectedly fired for allegedly “hooking up with a subordinate,” which has shocked Jake Tapper’s production crew. This is yet another blow for the news organization, which has already had a turbulent time due to a number of problems that have damaged its reputation.

Federico Quadrani recently lost his job as CNN’s executive producer for Jake Tapper as a result of a stormy string of events. This most recent event adds another chapter to the network’s continuing unrest, which started when Jeff Zucker abruptly left last year after controversy erupted over his connection with Allison Gollust.
One knowledgeable person has issued a possible public disclosure warning as word of Quadrani’s planned departure from the company spreads swiftly.
One CNN source informed Fox News Digital that “complaints were made” regarding Quadrani.
Last Monday, anchor Jake Tapper quickly alerted CNN’s human resources division to the existence of proof of an alleged misbehavior. Federico Quadrani, his longtime producer, then parted ties with the network in a matter of two days.
Quadrani and Tapper had a tight working connection for more than ten years. The New York Post referred to him as the anchor’s “right-hand man,” and they collaborated closely up until recently, when word of their breakup surfaced. Jake Tapper, who joined CNN in 2013 from ABC News, has remained mute about what transpired behind closed doors despite this development.
CNN staffers allegedly expressed disbelief at seeing a prominent producer like Quadrani act recklessly, which might lead to yet another major controversy similar to the one involving former president Jeff Zucker. Insiders were baffled as to how such a seasoned worker could have been “so stupid” as to seek a romance with a person they had power over.
Current CNN CEO Chris Licht took immediate action in terminating relationships with influential people like Brian Stelter, Jeffrey Toobin, and John Harwood in an effort to disassociate the company from the sensationalist inclinations of previous leadership. Prior to the 2022 midterm elections, ratings-struggling Licht made a risky choice by hiring Jake Tapper to fill their empty 9 p.m. position, paving the way for what will undoubtedly be an exciting time for the network.
Even though CNN Executive Vice President Jeff Licht first said Jake Tapper’s shift to primetime was just temporary, rumors suggest Licht was eager for Tapper to represent CNN as its “new face.” In contrast, Tapper vehemently refuted these assertions in a Fox News interview, insisting that his only goal was to return to his daytime program.
