They want the public apology and not an expensive suit that could cause them to shed jobs.
An apology would just about kill Moore since when he does do so, all will use it in his face as undeniable proof of his scummy film editing.
You folks know what this sounds like to me?
It sounds like the paper -who sure seems to not be upset about MOO's deceptions or movie- is attempting to get more people to notice and possibly go and see F911.
It sounds like MOO's buddies are trying to help him with this.
