Retractions of misleading media should be the same prominence as the original

What the petition asks

Highlighted by the Sun's front page article on Muslims support for Jihadi fighters. A retraction was ordered as the survey used was deliberately misleading, it was 'hidden' in a boring column of text titled 'Ispo ruling upheld'

Retractions should be equal prominence to original.

People have a right to know when they have been mislead, and clearly the majority who read the headline article will not have read the retraction.
