It's a good thing Corrine is so incredibly hot 'cause she isn't much on media strategy.
If Drew's releases are so lame and irrelevant, why draw MORE attention to them sending out your own press release? Doesn't that sort of keep the story going?
The story was already dead. It had a one day shelf life (thankfully). Now, Louis' press shop is keeping it going for another week. Brilliant.
As an aside, isn't TCPR a non-profit? Yep. Should the Center really be getting in the middle of two of the city's non-profits and picking a side? Or do you have to pay the monthly vig to the Center to be considered a constituent? Probably. If TCPR had paid more in membership dues, would the Center have sided with TCPR? Just curious. Non-profits get in public pissing matches all the time in this town. When was the last time Mr. Lavine's office issued a press release from their ivory tower?
Lots of questions, not many answers.

Seems like TCPR baselessly attacked a bunch of non-profits for no reason other than that's what they do- traffic in baseless b.s.. Besides, calling TCPR a "non-profit" is like calling the GOP a "viable, national political party". It's technically correct (at least until the IRS gets around to examing TCPR's status) but in no way represents reality.
I don't really disagree with you. I just don't like Lavine's shop picking and choosing who they are going to represent as constituents.
Truthfully, there are quite a few nonprofits in this town that are, as you say, in "reality" not non-profits but special interests representing their founders either monetarily or idealogically. In "reality" they function with very little focus on their IRS stated purpose found on their 990s.
You have to be one of the Chamber luvin', Music City Center boostin' back slappers to get in good with the "Center." Drew is no angel, but neither is the "Center." They are their own game.
