Damage control? No no, more like "We need to start clawing back some semblance of credibility in some area of 'reporting' before we become the butt of EVERY joke in the media"

I can only imagine the CNN Editor:
- Congratulations Christina, I haven't read your article on F1 yet. But apparently it's an amazing job! It has gotten us hundreds of comments, millions of views and even articles on other websites! Good job. I'll read it in a minute.
*minutes later*
- Christina, you better come to my office. Ask my secretary for some bourbon on your way.

Her last 15 tweets or so all look like that.

"@twitterperson Thanks for all your helpful comments..This piece has now been re-published. Please note 'editors comments' (link to story)"

I'm flattered that my comment was helpful. Brits are so polite.

There isn't much more they can do to try to repair what has been done. I think it's very nice that they follow up on all these tweets. Certainly puts some more credibility into CNN.

So, if the editor's note is to be believed, once a reporter does a video report, a room full of interns(?) (baboons? potatoes?) then writes up an article on the same topic, and CNN publishes the article with the reporter's name on the byline? I'm no expert on journalism, but that just does not seem right...
