Mostly because the media has gotten over the shock of what Trump did and is now playing for clicks and views, portraying the Republican talking points as valid.

In addition, the less time we have to hear about White House's lack of cooperation the better. The public at large is susceptibil to Trump’s constant barragement of lies and distortions.
