As we noted yesterday when news broke about Time Magazines cover story on Glenn Beck, the image used is from a photo shoot last year by Jill Greenberg.
Its an interesting choice. Greenberg is known for her liberal views and shes 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). Heres 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 Greenbergs intent here, but this is a very blatant admittance on her part that shes purposely making Beck look bad. And although Time may not have known that, they had to have known her background.
Shes 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 wouldnt pay her for her work because she went beyond the parameters of her contract.

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

I read the article on their web site...its 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?

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

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.

Theyve run into a brick wall with Beck because he doesnt 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
