Some news organizations do apologize for mistakes. The BBC apologized the the Jessica Lynch stuff when the truth came out.
Back in March 2003, Bill O'Riely told the Good Morning America viewers that "if the Americans go in and overthrow Saddam Hussein and it's clean, he has nothing, I will apologize to the nation, and I will not trust the Bush administration again." Feb 2004, Still lacking any substantive explanations from the White House, Bill O'Reilly apologized on Good Morning America.

O'REILLY: Well, my analysis was wrong and I'm sorry. Absolutely, you know.
GIBSON: Camera's right there.
O'REILLY: Um, and I'm not pleased about it.
GIBSON: Camera's right there.
O'REILLY: Yeah, I just said it. What do you want me to do? Go over and kiss the camera?

I've never been so pleased.
