As far as a possible media contact I would suggest Steven Levitt, the author of Freakonomics. He runs a blog through the New York Times.
Freakonomics Blog He is obviously pretty high profile from the success of the book. More importantly he was also involved in the Pokernomics project
Pokernomics Webpage
He even mentions pokertracker on the pokernomics webpage. He seems like he could be the absolute perfect person to condense the poker math down to a level that the mass media would understand, he has a ton of credibility and could pretty easily make a basic post on his blog that would raise the necessary red flag.

I think what we want here are established statisticians and poker players that everyone trusts. Not proponents of controversial theories that are still being hotly debated.

as soon as the database with all the hand-histories is ready, somebody needs to do the math. maybe ask the probability forum about the "how?" and the "who?". but it'll be certainly not enough that we just know that it is unpossible. we need some numbers so that we can say "it is more likely that you'll be struck 10x by lightning in a row" or something...
