猛黑他，让老头觉得受背叛。
Zucker was fired after Comcast purchased NBC Universal in 2011. He left with
his reputation tarnished, having made a high-profile blunder in the late-
night wars: He moved Jay Leno to prime time, an instant ratings debacle.
By the time Zucker’s name came up for the CNN job in 2012, both he and the
24-hour news network seemed to some people like relics of a different era in
television. One of those who lobbied on his behalf was Trump. He sang
Zucker’s praises to Turner Broadcasting System’s chief executive at the
time, Phil Kent, who was in charge of hiring for the position, when the two
were seated next to each other at a black-tie charity dinner at the Plaza
Hotel hosted by the American Turkish Society.

For Zucker, the thick-skinned TV executive and newsman, it was just business
. For Trump, the thin-skinned TV star and now approval-craving politician,
it was tactical but also personal: He believed that he had gotten Zucker his
job at CNN and that the network’s increasingly aggressive coverage of him
was an act of betrayal.
Trump actually didn’t play a meaningful role in Zucker’s hiring. (“The
president is certainly entitled to believe whatever he likes about our
conversation,” Kent wrote me in an email, “however, it was not a factor in
the decision to hire Jeff.”) But after the second presidential debate in
October, when several CNN panelists criticized Trump for dismissing his
comments about grabbing women by the genitals as “locker-room talk,”
Zucker received an email from Trump, via his campaign spokeswoman, Hope
Hicks: “Jeff — Too bad you (CNN) couldn’t be honest with how well I did
in the debate. The dumbest thing I ever did was get you the job at CNN —
you are the most disloyal person. Just remember, I always seem to find a way
to get even. Best wishes, Donald J. Trump.”
