try an experiment. Let's analyze one of the many articles published about the special, applying the scientific method. Popper argued that a theory to be considered science, must necessarily lend itself to that process that he called "falsification". For example, to assert the existence of God is not science for the simple reason that this statement can neither be verified nor refuted, how do you scientifically prove the existence of God? But above all, how do you refute it? Simple, is not possible. And when you do not have the ability to falsify a statement, well, we are not dealing with science.
Let us now try to apply the same standard information. Suppose that an article - which by its nature is a set of words that tell an event - to be considered "INFORMATION" necessarily lend itself to the test of falsification, meaning that it must give the possibility to verify that what they reported it to be true or false. To do this we use an article on the establishment of the special extranotizie appeared on the site, which you can read by clicking HERE .
read the article? Well. Now, from the 3rd to the 6th row you read that "the administration appeared to be in a hurry in the constitution of the special (...) does not allow discussion of the two motions had been tabled by the PDL and UDC." FALSE: In fact the two motions were discussed by the hour About 21:15 until almost midnight, and then for nearly three hours.
from 18 ° to 21 ° line you can read that "the conduct adopted by the council on the matter of the special (...) is throwing so much confusion not only among the forces opposition, but also among the majority. " MYTH: I can say (since I am part) than the majority of forces there has always been a unanimous agreement on the usefulness and importance of one of the most important points of our program of government , that is the special undertaking.
Now, apart from the considerations that can arise spontaneously on the goodness of the claims analyzed so far, back for a second experiment. So far the application of the scientific method (ie a check that the text can lend itself to "fake") was successful, thus proving that we are in the presence of an item of information in short .... I let him decide what kind to you.
Now back to the article analyzing the final part. At one point, we speak of a woman named Leticia who - by reading a piece, always special but this time on the company published by the Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno Online - decided to make a comment, this comment Letizia said the junta's first Electric De Giorgi and then you say disappointed by this administration. The phantom Letizia added it had not been present at the council and to have witnessed a veritable dictatorship put in place by the majority against the opposition ... The article, based on the quoted comment, complaint and then a growing confusion that is taking shape among voters of Mayor De Giorgi. These lines (the last of the "piece" fortunately) do not lend it to them to check forgery. How do you say that the comment was really a product of the mayor Electric De Giorgi Letizia's name and not by someone else, maybe a friend of some members of the opposition? How do you say that really the elusive Letizia - always assuming that it is called - has voted to De Giorgi? And if he had instead voted for Roger and Ruby and her words were dictated by the resentment caused by the defeat? You can verify these claims? No, the same way that you can not fake.
We are therefore faced to information? And if so, what kind of information is it?
After analyzing the "piece" I conclude with my personal account.
I believe that a journalist or aspirant said that, before producing an article having a moral duty to check the veracity of his sources, then report only the most appropriate and closest to the truth.
When creates a chaos even dialectic based on anonymous comments (as these are, since you do not have the possibility of discovering the identity of the authors) such as "Joy" - whose words, though they may be close to the views of the journalist not prove the truth of that claim the state - is not produced information ... but it is limited to assume a mere political position!
