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.

It’s a badge of honor.
Place the Beck pic beside her self-portrait *shudders*, and it is clear which one is being silly and which one is a nutjob....it’s in the eyes, man! And, the eyes in her man-face give her away!
Ignore the tongue and Beck looks fantastic. Great lighting, a perfect bronze tan.
That's not what "irony" is.
I think it is a pretty good photo. He doesnt look this good on tv sometimes.

I think she’s stuck in a rut. But she does look good with the orangutan. Too bad she has an evil spirit.
Only while waiting for the Dentist~ He gets Time and Newsweek for Free so he puts them in the waiting room.
It's always painful reading Time, usually my teeth hurt when I'm reading the magazine - Another reason I would never subscribe.
[He looks like a mental patient.]
Yes, but he wears that look so well!
What’s a time? One-a fifty pm’a.
NO ONE buys TIME except Doctor’s who run late.
“Really? He looks like a mental patient. Mind if I ask you how Obama’s pics look to you?”
You can’t tell Obama is a mental patient from looking at his picture.
He still looks better than any leftist in DC, or the photographer.
Mental patient. I know whereof I speak.
Time is scum. That and the other weekly news magazines send my office their monthly issues free, but I refuse to have them displayed in my reception room. Let them waste the postage, etc.
I’m surprised she didn’t get a pic with Glenn giving a one-finger salute.
