That highly depends on the receiver. Currently in any public setting there is more or less no instance where "being sorry" will help you.
Utilitarian view, sure. Outrage sells, some people are addicted to outrage. They don't want an apology, they want to see people burn. Under no circumstances ever apologise to them (or lawyers).
