The Donald Will Defeat Martha, One Blog at a Time
The spat between Donald Trump and Martha Stewart may be quickly fading from media relevance, but leave it to the Donald to exercise even the smallest platform in order to drown out his naysayers. He's taken the argument to his Trump Blog, where he reiterates his disappointment with Stewart's "ingratitude" regarding her failed version of The Apprentice while reminding readers that his own, wonderfully rated show is now launching into its fifth season. Navel-gazing just like a real blogger — bravo, Donald!
While we can always enjoy some self-important bloggy bombast, the best part are the commenters and their insights on the Martha debate. Stay focused, people:

Comment: Mr Trump, I wanted to inform you that Oregon NBC did not air the season premiere of your show last night. Here is a copy of the email I sent to KGW.com in Portland, Oregon: "Hello, I am writing to tell you how completely incensed I am that you did not air the season premiere of my favorite show The Apprentice (THE #1 SHOW ON TV!) last night.

Comment: I was wondering you had this bad idea to move The Apprentice 5 on Monday and air it against FOX's 24 Hours. I like both shows but I will watch 24 Hours and tape The Apprentice, not the other way around. I believe rates will be down for The Apptentice 5, Thursdaywas the right day and the right time.

Comment: Mr. Trump, when can we buy downloads of "The Apprentice" on iTunes? I'm ready to buy when you/NBC is ready to deal.
