From another in a seemingly endless series of "What Went Wrong With Disney?" stories:<p>
Alex Wallau, the president of ABC, said it was "totally unfair" to pin the loss of "The Apprentice" on Disney's management style under Mr. Eisner. "If you want to talk about how dysfunctional ABC is, this is not an example," he said, adding that he disagrees that ABC is dysfunctional at all. Mr. Wallau said ABC did offer to buy the show but not at Mr. Burnett's price.<p>Robert A. Iger, Disney's president, said he had not had any involvement in the "Apprentice'' decision - that it was left entirely to the network's entertainment executives. "Any suggestion that the process of how we manage the network resulted in NBC getting the show and ABC not getting it is simply not the case," Mr. Iger said.<p>But by all accounts, ABC had a period of time to get the series, was unable to make a decisive offer, and lost to a network that was able to act decisively.

in your own damn story.***
