No one is, of course, saying that Jill Greenberg isn't allowed to be as bigoted as she wants to be, but she should be ready to accept the consequences if she does so while acting as a representative for someone else. In this case she was representing The Atlantic Magazine...

Jill is a bigot. And if the Atlantic Magazine can see that, I'm keeping my subscription.

A bigot’s a bigot. I don’t think she’ll be a heroine except to other bigots. Or haters. Or both.

“In this case she was representing The Atlantic Magazine when she was assigned to photograph McCain and then used her position to trick him into a situation where she could use his image for political attacks at a later date...”

_______________________________________________________________________________________

There’s the rub, she was representing The Atlantic Magazine at the time and not herself. She gave THEM a black eye and cost THEM future business and advertisers. It’s when client reputation and money get jeopardized that suddenly these antics carry adult-size consequences.

Remember “The Reagans”, you can moon the public but don’t get your clients mixed up in it. You cost the suits money and suddenly you’re not so funny anymore.

Having never heard of this cretin before, I Google image searched her name. There is something very sick and twisted busy at work in that head of hers.

Not to worry, CBS will pick up her contract

Or ABC's Charlie Gibson.

Perhaps, but my bet is that Keith Olberman is looking to team with her to form a new MSNBC "Investigative Reporting" team.

She was hired to shoot photos for a client. She probably violated the terms of her hired shoot by additionally shooting images for herself and manipulating the work she did for Atlantic Monthly as a new work (wouldn’t AM own the publishing right on that photo?).

She engaged in defamation of character and probably violated the release she provided Senator McCain. If she did not have a release from him, she is probably in a bad place legally to engage in such tactics.

Bet she wouldn’t pull this s*** on Warren Beatty or Sean Penn.

The agency fired her so now Atlantic ALSO says they won’t hire her. Earlier the editor was defending her.

Too late for the flip flop to mean crap.

Compare and contrast with the outrage over Time Magazine darkening OJ's picture on their cover.

She’ll probably be hired to “do” the first Michael Moore bookcover about the McCain presidency.

Punctuation is your friend

...and the left uses it well to print misleading statements and then claim it was just a punctuation error. I don't believe for a minute that the editor did not know what the interpretation would be.

Most photographers photoshop their works.

And most liberal photographers specifically try for “bad” photos of Republicans/conservatives. And most editors try for scowling photos for the newspaper.

Remember USA Ptooey’s photoshop of Condi?

http://michellemalkin.com/2005/10/26/demonizing-condi/

Until photographers spit on ALL photographers who engage in this slander of conservatives, they are just huffing about the work it could cost them.

Digital fauxtography has replaced traditional film (and negative) photography. Now they willfully engage in Communist photo manipulation tricks at every turn.

What Greenberg did is something like a little kid does. Which is the level where the emotional and reasoning ability of most libs lies.
