Why Is The White House Press Corps Ignoring Rove?

Here is an excellent question posed by Think Progress White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan took questions from the press today aboard Air Force One. No one asked him about Karl Rove’s role in outing undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame. Yesterday, McClellan held a press conference and no one asked him about Karl Rove’s role in outing undercover CIA operative Valerie Plame. In fact, no member of the White House press corps has asked McClellan about Rove’s role in the Plame outing since his lawyer admitted on Saturday that Rove was one of Matt Cooper’s sources. (And there are plenty of good questions to ask.) Why is the White House press corps ignoring this story? Why indeed. There is a very simple answer to that. The media is controlled by the same corporate bunch that bought and paid for the Bush presidency. Why would their reporters be any different. If they speak up and ask the wrong question they lose their place at the dinner table.
