In civil cases, the accused parties almost always insist that wording to that effect be included in the settlement. But there's nothing in the First Amendment that says we have to print such nonsense.***<hr></blockquote><p>I agree, it's a crock. I disagree that we can simply not print it. It's as much a part of the settlement as the fine. The companies are saying, "OK, we want to put this nastiness behind us so we'll pay the fine. But we didn't do it!" If the companies did have to admit guilt, they wouldn't have agreed to the settlement at all, which is no small point.<p>Print the "We didn't do it" crapola, and let the readers make up their own minds.
