CNN/WAPO still saved money. They paid a token settlement, but saved lawyers costs to continue arguing it.

But they did not save so much money that it was worth the cost to their reputation.

Can't lose what you don't have.

The specific part of their reputation they lost was a reputation of fighting court suits. Lies were leaked they had settled for $250 million, so now every con artist will come out of the woodwork thinking they too can get $250 million.
