Well, it's not necessarily the media giving incorrect information so much as "not telling the whole truth" as Ernie was talking about. But, to answer your question directly, I don't know of anyone who has ever asked for a retraction. I'm guessing it's a lost cause after the initial report, unfortunately. And I'm not saying that scientists have always been perfect but I haven't seen anyone produce any direct examples of scientists providing bad information yet so I can't address it without speaking in generalities.
Mike
