About that blood...

The picture to the left is a screen capture from raw ENG video footage ingested into our CBC server at approx. 16:28 ET yesterday afternoon.
[ NOTE: I've corrected this time. I originally made a type-o in this post -- entering 14:38 when I meant 4:38, or 16:38, which is correct. My apologies for any confusion. ]
The video would have been shot earlier than that, then walked to our office.
In this footage, a group of protesters, including Jeh Custer (shown here, speaking to the camera) is escorted off Parliament Hill by security.
This second image is how Jeh Custer looked as he was interviewd by Evan Solomon on CBC News Network at 17:15 ET.
Evan Solomon's full interview with Custer is here.
As those of you who read my tagged-on comment to my raw video post yesterday already know... re-viewing some of the CBC's footage later last evening revealed this discrepancy.
I'm not going to speculate further about it, because I think the onus is on the protesters to explain this.
About the Authors
- Rosemary Barton started her television career reporting from Quebec City where she covered the ins and outs of Quebec politics. She moved to the CBC Parliamentary Bureau in 2007. She also stood on the side of road awaiting U.S. President Barack Obama's motorcade for hours in the cold. When she finally spotted him, all of Canada heard her shriek, "I saw him!"
- Alison Crawford worked in Fredericton, Calgary and Winnipeg before returning to her hometown to work in the CBC parliamentary bureau. Her beats include the RCMP, justice, public safety and the Liberals. Alison credits her investigative skills as well as a national etiquette column and coverage of a ferret Christmas party, with having prepared her for covering national politics.
- James Cudmore has been a national newspaper reporter, a national television reporter and a national radio reporter. He's reported from every province and territory in the country. James has been, in no particular order, a bouncer at a Toronto night club, a book-seller, a house-painter, a soldier, a prep-cook, an ice-cream scooper, coffee-server, dish-washer, and paper boy. James has covered three federal elections from Ottawa, and two more from Alberta. James covers Defence for the CBC and has reported from Afghanistan. He also covers politics (but most days would rather be cooking).
- Louise Elliott has been a national reporter on the Hill since 2002. As a regular contributor to CBC Radio's The House, she has tackled stories about policy and politics that range from food labelling to refugee policy to the G20. Elliott has won numerous awards, including two Radio Television News Director Awards and a Canadian Association of Journalists award for her series on the spraying of chemical defoliants at CFB Gagetown. In 2003, she received a National Newspaper Award for political journalism.
- James Fitz-Morris came to Parliament Hill 10 years ago as the bureau chief for two private radio stations. In 2005, James joined CBC so he could report without pausing for "important messages from his sponsors." His primary beats are foreign affairs and finance, making him the bureau's resident number-cruncher and exchange rate converter. He's also worked in Beirut, Lebanon. He speaks English and French fluently, and is still grappling with Arabic.
- Chris Hall is the National Affairs Editor for CBC News. He's been a member of the CBC Parliamentary Bureau since 1998. That adds up to 11 budgets, four elections, three prime ministers and too many confidence votes to count. Chris started his career in print before moving to the CBC in 1992. Since then, he's worked in Toronto, Halifax and St. John's, as well as Ottawa.
- Susan Lunn started reporting in her home town of Halifax in 1986, where she had wrote a column called pet-pourri. But like many other maritimers, the bright lights of Toronto beckoned. She was hired in 1990 by the CBC and has worked in so many locations her mother still writes her address and telephone number in pencil in her address book. She has been in Ottawa now for a record seven years.
- Leslie MacKinnon Leslie's been working in news and current affairs since newsrooms used teletype, televison was shot on film and radio tape was edited with a razor blade. She saw through The Journal's long run on CBC-TV, and since then has worked in Halifax, Toronto and Ottawa in the CBC's various permutations. Right now, she's a TV news reporter in the political bureau, and likes certain parts of Ottawa - the canal, the Hill - a lot.
- Janyce McGregor has been a television producer in the CBC's Parliamentary Bureau since 2001. She started her career working for Studio 2 on TVOntario. In 2005 her then-doctoral student husband persuaded her to follow him to the U.K., where she worked for BBC World Service Radio in London. Janyce is originally a farm girl from southwestern Ontario. Her most important job title is "Norah's Mom."
- Kady O'Malley has been covering the Hill for more than a decade (yes, really) for a variety of publications. An Ottawa girl (not quite born, but raised), she has a passion for politics that borders on the unhealthy, and has liveblogged her way through hundreds of committee meetings, press conferences, judicial inquiries, budget launches, cabinet shuffles, and even the odd constitutional crisis. Oh, and yes, her Boston Terrier really is named "BlackBerry."
- Chris Rands has been a member of the Parliamentary bureau since 2001. He started at Toronto's AM Radio giant CFRB before moving to CBC's National Radio News in 1996. Chris has worked in Toronto, Moncton, Sudbury, Regina, Washington and St John's. Every time Chris walks up to the Peace Tower, he wants to throw his hat in the air like Mary Tyler Moore.
