as part of a settlement since the courts would never order one.

Fox -- deep pockets -- would rather give money than an apology, so it was never likely one would be part of a settlement.

But these defendants -- not deep pockets -- almost certainly would rather give an apology in lieu of (in whole or in part) money.
