The same reason why the press didn't jump all over W Bush for all his lies that got us into Iraq. Remember how it wasn't until 2006 that a reporter in the White House Press Room finally had the temerity to ask Bush why we invaded Iraq since all the reasons we'd been given turned out to not even sort of be true?
We don't have a media in this country anymore.
The reason they don't jump on him is because the media is practically owned by the corporations. Rupert Murdoch owns an enormous chunk of the US share of "news" outlets. Also they don't ask these questions or give people an opportunity to learn from the "mistakes" of the Bush administration because they want to use that plan again in the future. They can't have people getting wise and figuring out these mass deception techniques otherwise they won't work as well next time they need to use them.
