What The Heck Is Wrong With The MSM? LA Times Just Now Notices Obama Has A Thin Resume

I have been exposing MSM for their absolute biased reporting since the start of the election season, now the LA Times is waking up from their koolaid-swill reporting. The MSM bias has resulted in voters who were ill-informed. According to a Zogby poll Obama supporters couldn’t even answer simple questions about the election. When Obama and Biden had said something specific and questioned about it, the voters almost unanimously gave Sarah Palin credit for it. Of course most people know Obama said that during a campaign stop in Oregon.

The most amazing thing is all the voters knew everything about Sarah Palin. Asked where they got their information, their answers included media outlets such as The New York Times, MSNBC, CNN, NPR and even PBS. All these media outlets were or remain in the tank for Obama. Chris Matthews and MSNBC are one example of a media outlet that remains in the tank for Obama.

NewsBusters has the story on the LA Times:

Dan Morain of the L.A. Times has just discovered that Barack Obama has a pretty thin resume prior to being elevated to the presidency. Between 1993 and ‘96, Obama, the much-ballyhooed “Constitutional scholar,” had only an unusually low 3,723 billable hours of legal work accrued over a four-year stint with his law firm employer Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard. Further, he seems to have worked on but few cases and made little impact commensurate with his reputation. The question I have, of course, is why is the L.A. Times only NOW interested that Obama was “involved in relatively few cases before entering politics”? Where was this investigating before the election?

This is really bizarre in light of the fact that this information has been in the public eye for more than a year. LA Times, you should be ashamed!

Read on, there is more:

Here’s how Morain sums up Obama’s paper trail:

30: The approximate number of legal cases Obama was involved in:

4: The number of years Obama was a full-time lawyer

70%: The amount of time Obama spent on voting rights, civil rights and employment, generally as a junior associate. (The rest of his time was spent on matters related to real-estate transactions, filing incorporation papers and defending clients against minor lawsuits.)

3,723: The number of billable hours Obama accrued while working at Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard.

According to Morain, some of Obama’s “big” cases were the case of a shortchanged babysitter, the case of a cold building tenant, and a lawsuit against a corporation that owned low-income housing on behalf of a guy that slipped and fell down. Additionally, Obama was involved in the enforcement of the federal Motor Voter law in Illinois — at lest that one being a higher profile case.

So, it appears Obama has less

So, it appears Obama has less billable hours during those four years than most young lawyers are expected to accrue (which is up to 2,000 hours a year according to some estimates), worked on but few cases, and only on one notable one. On top of that, he was rarely more than a “junior associate” the whole time.

This is the man that was praised for his extensive legal career? A slighted babysitter and a guy that fell down are the amazing legal challenges he faced as a young lawyer?

Of course, the biggest question is, why are we only now seeing this report in the L.A. Times? Where was this report two months ago or more?

Need I even ask?

Never mind wondering where this investigative reporting was two months ago! Where was it two years ago? And why is Obama with so few billable hours as a former lawyer, a former Senator and now president elect? Shame on the media. Go back to journalism school and learn how to do real investigative research that is truly unbiased because you have honestly forgotten that is part of your job.
