Photog Says She Purposely Made Glenn Beck Look Bad On Time Cover

As we noted yesterday when news broke about Time Magazine’s cover story on Glenn Beck, the image used is from a photo shoot last year by Jill Greenberg.

It’s an interesting choice. Greenberg is known for her liberal views – and she’s being very upfront about her use of this opportunity to take revenge on those who attacked her.

Greenberg brought up the cover on Twitter (she goes by the ironic handle @JillManipulator). Here’s her comment:

exactly a year after my right wing attack, i am retouching one of my attackers for a magazine cover. leaving blemishes of course.

Time may not have known Greenberg’s intent here, but this is a very blatant admittance on her part that she’s purposely making Beck look bad. And although Time may not have known that, they had to have known her background.

She’s the same photographer who took purposely awful pictures of Sen. John McCain during the campaign, and then photoshopped them on her own site to make him look even worse. The Atlantic said they wouldn’t pay her for her work because she “went beyond the parameters of her contract.”

They’ve run into a brick wall with Beck because he doesn’t care what they think.

[Reaganesque]

I like the cover. I think it’s funny! Hey, Time! He was directing that raspberry at you and your buddies.

[Phil Southern]

My the libs sure are concerned with vanity.

[itsinthebag]

If I’m not mistaken, on Glenn’s radio show yesterday morning, he seemed rather pleased about the picture.

[blueyon]

While I thought he looks great.............youthful and I like the nice touch with the tongue, kind of a back at ya type of look
Go Glenn

Time may not have known Greenberg’s intent here, but this is a very blatant admittance on her part that she’s purposely making Beck look bad.

What? Unlike the "fair" person who wrote the cover title "Mad Man"? Of course she was trying to make him look bad. Wasn't that the point of the article?

[Pharmboy]

All of those lefties think they're so smart and omnipotent.

Hey Jill...snap this!

[FES0844]

And he still looks good doing it!

[Marty62]

EXCUSE ME! Didn’t TIME just send their lawyers after the Dumocrat that created the Obama Joker RETOUCHED photo??????????????

[pepsionice]

Actually...think about this...a weekly news magazine....and the best they can do...is report on other journalists? The true mark of a loser.

[Barney59]

Right on Phil, it’s all cover and not content for them...

[goodnesswins]

He soooo reminds me of Dennis the Menace....he’s the Dennis the Menace of the elitists.....hahaha...go get’m Glenn

[Mr. Jazzy]

Funny cover!

[Pharmboy]

I read the article on their web site...it’s not as bad as I expected. The reporter was evidently charmed a bit by Glenn.

[exile]

Why would Glenn want to be on the cover of Time anyway? He has much more listeners than Time has readers.

[resistance]

I bet Beck is saying ‘Quit it some more, oh please no more free publicity, don’t write those awful articles about me in every liberal magazine/newspaper in the country, it is pushing my ratings through the roof, oh please stop!’ /s

[manc]

it just makes Time mag look even smaller than they really are.

I wonder when these idiots will understand that they are making fools of themselves and they have lost a lot of respect infact all respect in these last couple of years b y the majority of folks in the this country

[demsux]

Wow...Time is still around...who woulda thunk it

[MozarkDawg]

If I’m not mistaken, on Glenn’s radio show yesterday morning, he seemed rather pleased about the picture.

He also said it done during the photo shoot for the cover of GQ, that the photographer wasn't supposed to be using it/allowing its use for a different publication, (or words to that effect ... I'm sorry, I can't quote verbatim).

[GeronL]

Of course they do it on purpose. We don’t have any news organizations left in this country.

[visualops]

LOL I can hear him saying it

[rockabyebaby]

PINGING THE COMRADES.........

[mmichaels1970]

I read the article on their web site...it’s not as bad as I expected.

That's good to hear. I saw Glenn hold up the mag on his show last night. My first thought was "OUTSTADNING!" You can't pay for that kind of publicity. How many people of all persuasions are going to check out his show even from just seeing this picture in the grocery line?

[hoe_cake]

I like the cover, too. Something sexy about it. Beck doesn’t take himself too seriously,.

[chimera]

They (or maybe Newsweak) did the same thing with Rush, used an unflattering photo of him on the cover. His listenership went up. Same with Beck and the “boycott” by the liberals of his sponsors. They're just practicing Alinsky tactics, portraying their opponents in as unflattering a manner as possible. It blows up in their ugly faces every time, but they don't seem to learn.

[Hacklehead]

“While I thought he looks great.....”

Really? He looks like a mental patient.

[Maceman]

They’ve run into a brick wall with Beck because he doesn’t care what they think.

None of us care what they think anymore. They have blown their credibility with their hysterical pejoratives and over-the-top race baiting, and now they all just look petty, foolish and inept.

[JHBowden]

Any publicity is good publicity.

[TigersEye]

I like Glenn Beck. I like the Time cover pic of him.

I'll buy an issue of Time when the sun turns into ice.

[WKUHilltopper]

Time is out of it...

[Ransomed]

I heard that he didn’t mind the pic too, also something about him not thinking she could use the pic?

Freegards

[fantom]

What do mental patients look like ?

[EyeGuy]

Which confirms the obvious truth of the past 20+ years, that TIME is not a news magazine, but instead a cheap, left-wing propaganda rag.

[thefactor]

[ejonesie22]

Time is about up....

[Oldexpat]

How about a picture of the itch?
We got one that makes her look good.

[MrB]

That’s what doing the right thing by God will get you - disdain for the world and working to glorify him alone.

[JenB987]

Glenn is the first person I started listening to on talk radio, followed shortly by Rush.

You can’t make those gents look bad. Their personalities show through without them having to say a word, but then they open their mouths and get even sexier.

Beck and Rush are hot.

Liberal women are not.

Jealousy is not a good color for anyone.

[wiggen]

better yet,he said on his show last night that his family likes it.

[cripplecreek]

Its all just fringe media flatulence.

[netmilsmom]

>>Really? He looks like a mental patient.<<

I worked with mental patients. Trust me, they don’t look like that.

He looks childish, maybe. I like it. My wallpaper on my computer was my DH doing the same thing. I think it’s cute.

[stylecouncilor]

NOT GUILTY!!

[TigersEye]

I don’t know which itch you’re talking about but it must have taken some photoshopping talent to make her look good.

[Freeper]

I think Glenn looks just perfect!

[netmilsmom]

>>What do mental patients look like ?<<

Most are either vacant or ready to kill you.
At least the ones I know.

Beck looks like he’s about to take all the kids for Ice Cream!

[D Rider]

Beck will think this is absolutely hilarious.

[incredulous joe]

yeah, i don’t get it ~ the pic looks fine.

i think it captures his whole tude. truth be told, I don’t even like his schtick.

though he does seem to piss off the right people, so good for him.

[delphirogatio]

I am not good at the html thing, but here is a picture of Greenberg.

I note she tried to make Beck look bad, whereas she’s just....well, GUILTY

[SamuraiScot]

purposely making Beck look bad

I agree it looks good. It looks as if he's enjoying himself—having fun making fun of TIME and the dinosaur media.

I think the artist in her is working against the nihilist ideologue. Blemishes? Not that I can see. Maybe she kinda likes him.
