I guess if we did it consistently and often enough we might get a reporter or two to check their facts but as they are probably not Mainframe savvy (or even tech savvy) I doubt it would get anywhere. Perhaps if we targeted the editor of the publication pointing out the shoddy reporting of their staff it might get further.
