How much does it cost?

Fox News agreed to pay $787.5M to prevent Americans from learning / seeing what bullshit artists they really are, and how they've mind-fucked the sheeple.

But I digress...
There are also other angles.

Back when South Point just finished transitioning from South Coast (I think around 2007) a mutual AP friend of mine and axel's (Rick Radner) was thrown out of the casino and identified as an "undesirable" for allegedly being extremely rude to employees.

Rick loved playing there and lived nearby. He had multiple AP plays going down and really REALLY did not want to be banned. He turned to me as a GT columnist, and asked for my help. He claimed his argument with several employees over a malfunctioning machine was valid, and that his follow-on rudeness to a cocktail waitress was regrettable and he apologized. I met with casino mgmt. on his behalf. I told them he was sorry, they knew he lived nearby, and he gave them decent action. But the scenario changed when I said I'd put the entire episode in my next column. The ban was lifted within the next 24 hours.

This is how much these casinos do not want negative publicity.

Even a caveman knows kew's story, had it been real, would have netted him a bundle.
