Newsmax and Fox News aren't taking the extraordinary November jobs report very well, which surpassed expectations. Unsurprisingly, Wish.com's version of Fox News, Newsmax, tried to spin the stronger-than-expected job data that was released by blaming undocumented workers.

The network ran with the job report as being "propped up" by illegal immigration. How can that be if they're stealing all of our jobs, you ask? OK, you didn't ask, but they're saying healthcare and education hirings are up because "these illegal immigrants are turning up at healthcare facilities" and "there are more kids being put into the schools."

Over at Fox, Maria Bartiromo looked like she was about to choke.

199,000 jobs were added in November with unemployment falling to 3.7%. It is the 23rd straight month of unemployment that is under 4% and the 35th straight month of job growth.

You'd think the right-wing media would be happy that the economy is doing so well. They're not. Because if they did, they would have to admit that Bidenomics is working. Quelle surprise!
