Do you have any history for this photo shoot? It looks like someone was making a monkey out of Beck. I'm sure he's not the first though.

The snarky, h8ter comments below the video speak more to me than faking tears for a still photo shoot. The fact that he is hated (read:FEARED) by so many on the left tells me he is speaking truth they don't like to hear.

Rather than attempting to refute something specific Beck says, the left merely tries to destroy him with ad hominem attacks.

The video you posted, with Beck in black, collared shirt and against a dark seamless backdrop looks an awful lot like it might have been from this series:

So who is the big phony, Beck or TIME Magazine's photo staff who set up the shot?

This is exactly what I suspected, SET-UP. [-X

The same thing happened several years back to Focus on the Family's Bob DeMoss when he was being interviewed for his book 'Learn to Discern' on national television. They purposely failed to bleep out an expletive repeated from a song making him (Bob) look like the evil one to American households.

Here's the scoop to the best of my research thus far:

GQ assigned photographer Jill Greenberg to shoot Glenn Beck for an interview, in a cheeky homage to Greenberg's notorious series of crying children. Funny! Hey, didn't Beck accuse Greenberg of "terrorizing" children for those photos? Of course he did.

Beck's penchant for hysterical tears makes the pairing obvious—why not ask a photographer famous for taking pictures of crybabies to shoot a blubbering TV personality?

But (Jill) Greenberg is an officially designated public enemy of the right wing: Last year, when she was hired by the Atlantic to shoot John McCain, she boasted of taking extra shots of McCain deliberately lit to make him look old and leaving "his eyes red and his skin looking bad." Also, she posted photoshopped outtakes on her web site featuring a monkey ******* on McCain's head.

You guys are not supposed to reference context... but just knee jerk like liberals do.

Research, Facts, & Results are for the weak minded.
