What Gives?

Can someone explain to me why this story continues to get very little play? I don’t get it. The administration blew the cover of an al Qaeda mole for political purposes and it just goes nowhere.

Aside from the usual “mediawhore, mediawhore” explanation, does anyone have any serious ideas as to why this is? This strikes me as curious even for our benighted press corp. It’s a hell of a story and one which I would think even the infotainment crew would be unable to resist. Is there something more to this that isn’t readily apparent?
