I will be restarting coverage this evening with a whole mess more video to bring you.  I've been struggling with some important content from the Nine TV Network in Australia today, but hopefully by this evening will have that available to everyone.

As the initial news wears off, we can next anticipate comments from those who knew Heath, as well as the usual rampant speculation about how and why he died.  This continues to be a very major story, displacing the economy and the presidential campaign on most news sites, although not as much on cable news, which as I've always said, cancelled actual news long ago.  It's cheaper to have Pat Buchanan scream his head off with Chris Matthews and other pundits on cheap-to-produce political shows on MSNBC, Lou Dobbs to rail against the Mexicans on CNN, and Fox News to get back to the missing and murdered white women.  But the latter does have access to sensationalist news partners, so you will get more coverage on Fox than most others.

Which is why I am digging to find additional content and reaction to bring.....

My apologies for the delay in getting you additional content from Australian television.  Australian media has been covering Heath wall-to-wall, and it's seen as a major tragedy across the country, especially in Western Australia (they'll refer to it as "WA" in press reports.)  The Nine Network has had excellent coverage, but completely non-standard video encoders, so I've had to spend a considerable part of today re-encoding this content for you to enjoy.  An unfortunate side effect is a slight sync problem between the sound and picture, but considering the depth of coverage, I felt it was something people could overlook.

If you find YouTube video coverage containing news accounts, you can add to this collection.  Just click the YouTube button (second row of buttons in the editor, second from the left, labeled YouTube).  It will place two commands in the editor in between brackets []  On YouTube, just grab the URL of the video (not the embed command) and place it between the first command [ youtube=425,350]http://insert the url here[ /youtube].  Ignore the extra spaces I put in the commands, of course.  The editor may ask you to include some text with your YouTube clip (it might say message body empty), so just put some quick text in the editor before or after the YouTube command.
