Fiery funeral for Venezuela's Chavez

[No Vested Interest]

1. The AP article is particularly biased

I saw (most of the ) C-Span rendition of the memorial service, including Jesse Jackson's public prayer, which I thought was most appropriate. He spoke in English, with each sentence or phrase translated into Spanish during his delivery.

The U.S. representatives (Jackson, Congressman Meeks, and a former Congressman from Massachusetts) were spoken of as appointed by President of the U.S. There is no U.S. ambassador to Venezuela at this time.

V.P. Maduro's eulogy (as translated from English to Spanish) was passionate, and included much national history as well as praise for Chavez and personal insights.
