From the supplier: ABC News has settled its defamation case with cigarette manufacturers Philip Morris Cos Inc and RJ Reynolds Industries Inc. ABC News apologized to the cigarette companies on national TV and agreed to pay millions of dollars to cover the legal fees of the tobacco lawyers. ABC News' decision to settle its case with the tobacco companies indicates how expansion through merger and acquisition can weaken the position of journalists. ABC News has been acquired recently by Walt Disney Co.
