Al Jazeera Broadcasting Chavez Funeral Live Now from Venezuela; Where is KPFA?
With live interviews, analysis and twitter, Al Jazeera English online is carrying the funeral of Hugo Chavez from Venezuela now. See http://www.aljazeera.com/watch_now/ Will KPFA, 94.1FM at least have excerpts or will they again read from the AP wire on tonight's 6 p.m. news? This is a major news story from an oil rich country that defied US imperialism and improved the lives of the workingclass.

Gustavo Dudamel, conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Venezuelan native, is returning for the funeral as he was a product of the Chavez program, El Sistema, to provide free music education to the workingclass. See

We never hear about Gustavo Dudamel on KPFA or any other classical musician. Van Cliburn just died on Feb 27, 2013, and his impact on improving Soviet-American relations was tremendous when he won the Tchaikovsky piano competition in 1958. We had lots of visiting Soviet musicians and dancers to the US after 1958. See

KPFA is now done screaming at us for money for a few months and hopefully everyone gave something; how about lots of coverage on Venezuela? How about telling the audience who Van Cliburn was and who Gustavo Dudamel is?
