Fox's Andrea Tantaros, who recently made jokes about living off of the food stamp program as a dieting technique, actually had the gall to attack Sandra Fluke as a "terrible person to elevate" after Fluke's nomination by Time for Person of the Year.

Of course, attacking Fluke is nothing new for Tantaros, who went after her this August as well, saying that "no woman should aspire to be" Sandra Fluke.

And now that Fluke has received her nomination, Tantaros isn't the only one over at Fox or in the right wing media going after her -- Right-Wing Media Launch Attacks After Sandra Fluke Nominated For Time "Person Of The Year" .

Tantaros continued the tradition of lying completely about Fluke and what she was advocating for and after watching this I can say one thing. Fox and their Republican allies don't look like they learned a damned thing from the losses they just took among women during the last election. Keep it up wingnuts.

Occupy Wall Street protester and Daily KOS contributor Jesse LaGreca, otherwise known as MinistryOfTruth, stopped by the set of the Ed Schultz show to discuss Time Magazine's selection of the protester as their "person of the year" that Diane wrote about here.

Naturally this has the right wingers over at Fox terribly upset with everyone from the crew at Fox & Friends, to Megyn Kelly and her guest Chris Plante and Eric Bolling during their show that filled Glenn Beck's former time slot, The Five going on the attack and using the opportunity to call the protesters every name in the book.

It was nice seeing LaGreca have another opportunity to push back against the media narrative we've seen from the likes of Fox and their protection of the richest among us and to weigh in on what he thought the exposure from Time Magazine might mean for the movement and how they've managed to change the narrative in the country for the most part where income disparity is now a part of our national conversation.

Schultz and LaGreca also discussed one of the runners up for Time Magazine's Person of the Year, Rep. Paul Ryan and the fact that policies being promoted from the likes of Ryan are the reason why there are people out protesting in the streets to begin with.

You can read more about LaGreca's recent lobbying effort in Washington DC here -- We lobbied Congress IN PERSON to support Sen. Sanders Constitutional Amendment. This is our story.

SNL's Bill Hader was back again this week as Julian Assange, this time around taking a shot at Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg winning Time Magazine's "Person of the Year."

Tonight, I take a moment to congratulate Time Magazine on the excellent selection of Mark Zuckerberg as Person of the Year. Time Magazine, always on the cutting edge... discovering Facebook only weeks after your grandmother.

What are the differences between Mark Zuckerberg and me? Let's take a look. I give you private information on corporations for free and I'm a villain. Mark Zuckerberg gives your private information to corporations for money, and he's man of the year.

Thanks to WikiLeaks, you can see how corrupt governments operate in the shadows and then lie to those who elect them. Thanks to Facebook, you can figure out which Sex and the City character you are.

I’m a Samantha, but if the Swedish police ask, I’m a Charlotte.

If you want to make a movie about Mark Zuckerberg interesting, you’ll have to make stuff up. In order to make a movie about me, just to rate it R, you’ll have to leave stuff out.

And we are reminded yet again of just why Fox's viewers are the most misinformed "news" consumers in the United States.

h/t Media Matters -- Jim Pinkerton gets laughed at when he claims tea party had a bigger effect on world than Facebook

And they have more at their research blog. Apparently Pinkerton isn't the only conservative bitching that Time Magazine, that evil librul publication, didn't make the Tea Party their Person of the Year.

Déjà Vu: Right-wing Media Up In Arms Over Time's Supposed Tea Party Snub:

For the second year in a row, right-wing media have complained that Time magazine did not choose the Tea Party as Person of the Year, despite the fact that the Tea Party was chosen as one of four "Runners-Up."
