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.”
Now she’s got her photos on a major outlet again. Sweet revenge for the “manipulator.”
In their report about the Time cover yesterday, Gawker linked back to this video they originally posted showing behind-the-scenes footage of that photo shoot:

>>> Now she’s got her photos on a major outlet again. Sweet revenge for the “manipulator.”
Where is her photo in a major outlet? All I see is the Time cover.
So what amounts to a school yard prank is her revenge? Beck was holding the magazine on his show yesterday and laughing about it. Greenberg is a slightly more sophisticated version of Perez Hilton.
I assume the Time editors picked the cover photo and though she may have left-in a couple of blemishes, obviously the picture was attractive enough for the editors to order its publication and though he’ll probably ridicule it, while promoting it, I’m guessing Glenn Beck thought it was good too.
I mean, if you don’t ever want a gig, say you’re doctoring a cover photo to turn-off readers.
Moski says: LOVE The Picture of Glen! It shows that he is a REALLY fun person!
Even An ANGRY spiteful Lib Head could not ruin a pic of Glen, even when she was trying to. Way funny!!
The lighting kind of sucks, I do not know why anyone would use this photographer. it is so 10 yrs ago!
I think she is a little stuck in the past.
Is this that photographer that took a lot of pictures of monkeys with waaaaay over lighting them, and made babies cry for photos? Typical Lib, Makes babies cry. he he
It must suck to be so unhappy and angry all the time. What a miserable life she seems to have.
For those who actually watch Glenn Beck or have seen his live tour over the years, this is tame if it is meant for him to “look bad”. I would say for the photographer, if that was her intent it is a FAIL.
Media Matters thinks it isn’t vicious enough (surprise). Joel Achenbach of the Washington Post defends the Time article writer and starts a inter-league squabble with Media Matters. Follow all the action here:

He doesn’t need photo “enhancement” to look like the stark raving loon that he is.
Sue says: What a joke. A female whining, usual Lefty, then spewing hatred through revenge. Grown up, mature..yeah right! Thank goodness she shows up in the NON-mainstream media…well, if you don’t have readers, viewers or listeners or government susidy, can you be called media? Just asking….
Agent Orangutan says: Can someone translate Sue’s comment above?

mastertechmedia says: Only a Liberal would do this to an American Patriot. I can remember when Time Magazine was a treasured item in our home and we all enjoyed reading it in the 60’s.. It’s interesting that they would place a communist dictator on the cover as “Man of the Year” for 2007, and then treat a real patriot (Glen Beck) the way they did. Their true colors are coming out and they are not Red, White and Blue…Shame on you Time Magazine!! Perhaps the Board of Directors at Time Warner Inc will protect the shareholders investment and oust this bunch of Liberal Loons and put in a real editor that can present the facts objectively. Until that time, Time Magazine will continue do loose subscribers until the printing presses are shut down like many other Liberal “Rags” out there.
If they don’t believe the Country is conservative, look at the latest TV ratings….Fox News beats all the other cable new organizations…combined.

This is so childish. Glenn is not running for a beauty pageant. Who cares how he looks. He is a truly American man, and he is very concerned about the socialist/marxist/comunist path that the guy in the White House is taking the country. America, wake up before it is too late. This guy that is pretending to be our president was put there by the comunists, they want to take our country. America helped so many countries to get rid of the comunism but who will help us, when we have the enemy inside the White House? He is is a comunist and is being helped by big money like Soros and other countries Don’t let that happen. Protect the freedom that our forefathers fought so hard to give us. Watch Glenn Beck every day, specially this coming Monday. You will learn a lot and understand what is happening. Please, don’t let a race or a color to blind you. This guy doesn’t give a raft about you, he wants power, inmense power over us. And don’t think that he has not been stealing stimilus money by the billions, he has accumulated an incredible fortune by now, which will help him to perfect his big plans. Please, please, alert other American people of the inminent danger we are in.
Liberals and other nuts. I am so glad that you are persecuting Glenn. He could care less about the picture of him or the magazine. More publicity for Glenn. I love him.
SuperSmart says: Michael Erwin-CEO Mastertech Media Corp, aka mastertechmedia says: “look at the latest TV ratings….Fox News beats all the other cable new organizations…combined”
Yes, yes they do. And this shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially the “CEO” of a “Media Corp”, as there are a shit-ton of racists in this country… and with a black man running the country, all of the roaches… er., racists… will look to huddle together in an effort to find comfort. And Fox News has rolled out the welcome mat for the birthers/thruthers/9-12ers/racists because stupid people can be easily led by the nose when you paint someone as the embodiment of everything they hate.
Just as the huge ratings that American Idol and Big Brother drawl doesn’t mean those programs represent the best of American culture… the huge ratings of Fox News don’t mean it represents the best of American Conservatism. Quite the opposite, actually.
To “SuperSmart” : “Physician, heal thyself!” the bitter hate hiding in the hearts of the Leftists is turning them into the very monster they originally sought to destroy. In other words, they have become just like those whose hypocricy they denounced. Time for a reality check! When the term ‘racist’ is applied so blithely as to mean anything that isn’t liberal, its a farce…and even the very heads of your own belief system have acknowledged it. Better check who has their fingers wrapped around your own nose.

mastertechmedia says: The great thing is SuperSmart is allowed to call me any name his wishes or at least infer it. I served in the Armed Forces to protect his right to speak. But I must say I love the liberals who use the “Race Card” to attack those who would disagree with them. President Obama, is the President of the United States/Commander-in-Chief. Like or not…that’s the facts. I don’t believe he would embrace the kind of silly games Time Magazine played with their cover picture of Glen Beck. I have to believe he is above such idiotic games…obviously, Time Magazine is not. Just another reason why I haven’t purchased that Magazine in 20 years or more.
You know the more I think about it, we should let the Liberals do what ever they want for the next 14 months (except change the constitution and grant amnesty to illegal aliens). They would do so much damage they would never hold office again. Let them fund every Government Program they want, including ACORN. Let them have their way with Health Care. Let them go after the CIA and prosecute all the agents that defended our country. Have them immediately pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Let them continue to appease Iran (that’s a dangerous one, but I have faith that Israel will neutralize Iran).
Wow…what a nightmare that would be…I just woke up…in cold sweats….

Joe Biden At The Radio & Television Dinner: As Entertaining As You’d Hope
Who told Joe Biden he'd be performing at the Chucklehut tonight? It's been awhile since the VP notorious for misspeaks and off-color jokes was allowed to go off-book, and tonight he got a whole 13 minutes on stage at the annual Radio & Television Correspondent's Dinner to hang himself by. And boy did he use every second of it. Cue the music!
Bret Baier Part II: Obama Opines On Iran, Israel And Tiger Woods
After serving over a year in office, Barack Obama finally sat down for an interview with Fox News today, when chatted in a for roughly 17 minutes in a pre-taped segment with Bret Baier. The sometimes combative tone of the interview stands in stark contrast to the "walk and talk" segment between Baier and Obama, likely recorded in advance of the actual sit-down taping. While walking in the halls of the White House, Obama addressed foreign policy issues like Israel and Iran, and even gave a rather forgiving opinion on Tiger Woods.
