Seems to me that any 'harm' done to Business Wire was a direct inevitable result of one or more of their executives' irrational reaction to a group making an educational funny on April Fools Day. The intended butt of the joke was investor credulity, and now BW is hogging the limelight. Go figure.

And 'irreparable' harm - give us a break ... nothing that a brand-new sense of humour and an apology to the WebNode3 couldn't fix.
