Fox begrudges Obama the pastry chef enjoyed by the last five presidents
Published
Today Fox Nation linked to an Associated Press human interest story about the White House pastry chef with the headline: “Common Man Obama Has a Live-In Pastry Chef”:
I can't believe Fox Nation didn't bring up the fact that the guy has a private jet, too. And a chauffeur! Plus, have you seen the house he's living in right now? Who the hell does this fat cat think he is?!
Oh, that's right. He's the president. Of the United States. And in fact, the White House has had an official executive pastry chef for over three decades.
It turns out that Marie Obamanette's* pastry chef, Bill Yosses, is actually a holdover from the Bush White House. The same article that Fox Nation linked to states that Yosses “arrived at the White House in January 2007.” It also reports, “Yosses, 56, doesn't cook just for the Obamas. His team whips up treats for dozens, hundreds and thousands of guests attending a never-ending stream of parties, receptions and other special events at the White House.”
Okay, so maybe Fox Nation was being misleading when they failed to mention that Obama didn't create the office of the White House executive pastry chef. But at least they didn't just flat-out make up anything, right? Well, nothing in the AP article supports Fox Nation's claim that the pastry chef actually lives at the White House. In fact, the New York Daily News recently photographed Yosses “at his home” in DC.
Come on, guys. If you can't even make the small, trivial lies convincing, how are you supposed to sell us the big ones?
