The Press and Karl Rove

Why is it that the press are not questioning Scott McClellan on Karl Rove's involvement in the Valerie Plame leak? That is their job, is it not, as members of the White House Press Corp to ask hard questions on matters concerning Americans and their readers? Since the revelation of Time Magazine last Friday, have they pressed any of the hard questions about Rove and his connection with this leak? Have they done anything other than take Rove's lawyer's word that,"Yes, he spoke with Novak. But he didn't leak Plame's name." Isn't their job to investigate and not simply be parrots? While some are trying to ask the hard questions they are not the ones in the White House Press Corp. Nor have they gotten replies to their questions. Are they afraid of Rove and his mastery of Spin and/or his Big Brain?
