They openly say on the show and have since they started covering Rekieta that the reason they didn't cover him was that there was an overlap of fans of KC and Rekieta.I don't think they were so much sweeping as they just weren't covering it. To me, sweeping is an active and repeated attempt to spin something for the benefit of an e-celebrity/lolcow. Like you see Grifty doing on Twitter for Nick right now.
That said, your MM theory might have merit as to why they weren't covering it. I must confess it is weird how late PPP was to this. He's hated Rekieta for years. He was one of the OG Rekieta haters back when Rekieta was well liked. He distaste for Nick goes back a year or more before my dislike of Rekieta really began to form.
Obviously, what they really cared about is the overlap of paypigs, and the major overlap was their super-whale Metokur Masochist, who paid for the debauched Vegas meetup (nearly $24k JUST FOR THAT) but who also was a fan of Rekieta going back to before Nick even started to cover Vic!
That meant that Nick's spiral had to be covered up.
The Casino weren't going to say a WORD out of line about Rekieta until they got the green light from their super-whale.
But.... it IS a W for Rekieta though, in a very obvious way.In the KC/Warski/PPP threads.
The thought that this can be effectively spun as some sort of W for Rekieta is just stupid though.
