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.
I like the cover. I think it’s funny! Hey, Time! He was directing that raspberry at you and your buddies.
My the libs sure are concerned with vanity.
If I’m not mistaken, on Glenn’s radio show yesterday morning, he seemed rather pleased about the picture.
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
Hey Jill...snap this!
And he still looks good doing it!
EXCUSE ME! Didn’t TIME just send their lawyers after the Dumocrat that created the Obama Joker RETOUCHED photo??????????????
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.
Right on Phil, it’s all cover and not content for them...
He soooo reminds me of Dennis the Menace....he’s the Dennis the Menace of the elitists.....hahaha...go get’m Glenn
Funny cover!
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.
Why would Glenn want to be on the cover of Time anyway? He has much more listeners than Time has readers.
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
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
Wow...Time is still around...who woulda thunk it
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).
