When Zucker was at NBC, he greenlit The Apprentice — giving Trump a national platform and the network a big hit. As the head of CNN, Zucker recognized that heavy coverage of candidate Trump made for good TV — and possibly helped Trump to the White House. In a wide-ranging conversation with David Remnick, Zucker recalls salary negotiations with Trump, critiques CNN's coverage of the campaign, explains why many people are willing to overlook Trump's missteps and lays out the differences among Fox, MSNBC and CNN.
