This isn't about money, it is about further planting the seed to the public that they can't trust the media, having the media give public apologies can be flaunted by trump to prove his point. This entire thing is trying to get the last of the normies to wake the fuck up with the Media, so that when the real pieces of shit start getting arrested, people can believe it is real and not just Trump going on marshall law revenge spree which the media will 100% spin it to make him seem like a violent tyrant.
