South American states angered at diversion of Morales flightBolivia seeks explanation after plane rerouted amid concerns it carried US whistleblower

Bolivian authorities said they were denied landing space because of unfounded speculation that the former US spycontractor was on board.Bolivias president left Europe for home amid diplomatic drama, a day after his flight was rerouted and delayed in Austria amidsuggestions he was trying to spirit Mr Snowden away. Bolivia demanded an explanation from various European countries it accused of thwarting President Evo Moraless f light.French officials denied they refused to let the plane cross their airspace amid suspicions that Mr Snowden wasaboard. Spain , too, said the plane had been free to cross its territory.Low on fuel, the plane carrying Morales home from Moscow was rerouted to Austria last night, in a n ew twist to the internationaluproar over Mr Snowden and the widespread US surveillance that he revealed. It took off again from Vienna today.Bolivian and Austrian officials both say Mr Snowden was not on the plane.It began as a seemingly offhand remark by Mr Morales, who suggested during a visit to Moscow that he might behappy to host Mr Snowden.It escalated into a major diplomatic scramble in which the Bolivian presidents plane was rerouted yesterday, apparentlybecause of suspicions that Mr Snowden was aboard.Mr Snowden is believed to be in a Moscow airport transit area, seeking asylum from one of more than a dozen countries.Bolivias ambassador to the United Nations continued to insist that several European countries had refusedpermission for the p lane to fly in their airspace . Sacha Llorenti said it was an act of aggression and that France,Portugal, Spain and Italy violated international law.He said the orders came from the United States but other nations violated the immunity of the president and his plane, putt inghis life at risk.Bolivia said that France, Portugal and Italy blocked the plane from flying over their territories based on unfounded rumours thatMr Snowden was on board. Bolivia said Spain agreed to allow the plane to refuel in the Canary Islands but only if Bolivianauthorities agreed to allow it to be inspected.Spains foreign ministry said it authorised the plane to fly within its airspace and to make the Canary Islands refuelling st op andgave the authorisation again after Bolivian authorities repeated the request.

Austria said that the aircrafts pilot asked controllers at Vienna airport to land because there was no clear indication th at theplane had enough fuel to continue on its jo urney. We dont know who invented this lie that Mr Snowden was travellingwith Morales, Bolivian Foreign Minister David Choquehuanca said. We want to denounce to the internationalcommunity this injustice with the plane of president Evo Morales.

FactsDeal with pieces of information that one has heard, seen or read, andwhich are open to discovery or verification. The key word here isverification . A fact is a statement that can be verified, Facts are

statements that may involve numbers, natural phenomena, dates etc.The characteristics of the statements classified as facts are:Made after observation or experience. An event cannot become a factunless it has occurred.Confined to what one observes; cannot be made about the future.Limited number possible.Not perception dependent. A fact will be agreed to by every person. Itdoes not change from person to person.Tends to bring people together in agreement.

FACTSCan the fact be verified by direct observation?Can the facts be trusted? How did the author cometo the facts?Does the author have the skill and experience tomake such a statement?

Objective x Subjective

According to most definitions, something is a fact if it matches objective reality. Forsomething to be objective, it must be outside of the mind and not be based on feelings orbiases. This is the opposite of an opinion, which is what an individual thinks or feels about

a subject. Although the differences between facts and opinions usually rest on whether they areobjective or subjective, a true statement can in some cases be subjective. If a person sayshe is feeling sad, for example, that is a subjective fact about his emotional state it issubjective because it is only that person's individual experience. On the other hand, if thefirst person tells the second person that the second person feels sad, this statement is anopinion or guess, regardless of whether it is true.


12/19

Fact x TheoryIn scientific reasoning, something can only be called a fact when it can be observed as itoccurs or as a state of being, or when it can be proven through experimentation.Experiments must be repeatable, and return the same result no matter who the observer is.

Things that were once thought of as facts, however, have been shown to be incorrect. Forexample, the world was once thought to be flat by many people. This is now known to beincorrect, as objective evidence was introduced showing that it is actually a flattenedsphere.Many things that people think of as science facts are, technically, theories. Gravity, forexample, is a fact; the explanation of how gravity works, on the other hand, is a theory and there are several different theories on how it actually does work. This does not meanthat a theory is only speculation. Scientific theories are thoroughly tested and applied toknown facts, observations, and hypotheses, and to survive, a theory must explain a widerange of observations that would be otherwise unconnected.

Opinion x Persuasion

Sometimes, statements are used to mislead a person, whether deliberate or not. A personmight use opinionated language to persuade others to his point of view; for example, anadvertisement might proclaim that one brand is "the best in the world," despite the lack ofconcrete evidence to support this claim. When considering whether a statement might betrue or not, a person should consider the source of the information as well as the evidencesupporting it.

Fact x Opinion x IdeologyWhat is Ideology?

For Althusser: The representaion of the subjects imaginary relationship tohis or her real conditions of existence.

Those "Real conditions of existence" remain, by definition, outside oflanguage. History therefore functions for Frederick Jameson as an"absent cause," insofar as, in its totality, it remains inexpressible;however, it nonetheless does exist as that which drives realantagonisms in the present (for example, between social classes). Wemay not be able to get out of ideological contradiction altogether;however, Jameson asserts the importance of attempting, nonetheless,to acknowledge the real antagonisms that are, in fact, driving ourfantasy constructions. (JAMESON, 1991)

The Media Activism of Latin Americas Leftist Governments: Does Ideology

Matter? AbstractHas Latin Americas left turn mattered in media politics? Does ideology impactgovernments practices and policies regarding media and journalisticinstitutions? Through an empirical assessment of discourses on the media, ofdirect-communication practices, and of media regulation policies on the part ofthe recent leftist governments of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador,Uruguay, and Venezuela, this paper stresses the existence of a specific mediaactivism on the part of leftist governments in Latin America. While showing thatthe current binary distinctions that stress the existence of two lefts populistand nonpopulist obscure important commonalities and continuities, theauthor also demonstrates that it is the existence of certain institutional andstructural constraints that best accounts for the differ-ences among the variousleftist governments in Latin America. In sum, the paper challenges theprevailing neglect of ideology as a relevant factor in explaining developments ingov-ernment media relationships in the region.

Inferences Are conclusions drawn about the unknown, on the basis of theknown. Notice the three words conclusions, known andunknown very carefully. They will give you completedescription of what an inference consists of-Known- A fact. The first thing an inference should consist of isa fact. This fact is required to prove another proposition.Unknown - Something which can be logically proven by thegiven fact or the known. Therefore, in an inference anunknown proposition is present which is to be proven with thehelp of the fact. Remember that this proposition has to beproven with the help of another fact.Conclusion - Once the unknown has been proved with the helpof the known (fact) it is called a conclusion.
