OK, It's CNN, so that puts it in perspective, however, the Airbus has a rudder installed on it for various reasons, it is not only decorative.

The control laws for elevators change as a function of radio altitude, and emulate a normal aircraft.
The ailerons are rate commands, no input no roll
The rudder is a rudder, it will give a yaw rate and when stabilised a sideslip angle. It also gives a roll moment the the aileron logic nulls out (mainly).
The rudder is there for aligning the nose of the plane, (the bit where the professionals sit...) down the runway at an appropriate and well considered point in the approach to landing.
The FBW is different, but it is still a C-150 underneath it all.
