Vem bestämmer vad som är "alternativt" ?
Den svenska rödvinsvänstern. Snälla ring Trump och berätta.
Som jag ser det finns det en faktisk sanning, men vurmare och skrikhöger driver en linje där postsanning är rådande, där lögner och propgaranda blandaas med osaklig kritik på ett mycket medvetet sätt.
De 'alternativa sanningarna' och 'alternativa fakta' bygger på denna post-sanning precis som propaganda gör.

"
Post-truth is a philosophical and political concept for "the disappearance of shared objective standards for truth"
[1] and the "circuitous slippage between facts or alt-facts, knowledge, opinion, belief, and truth".
[2] Post-truth discourse is often contrasted with the forms taken by
scientific methods and inquiry.
[3] The term garnered widespread popularity, in the form of "
post-truth politics", in the period around the
2016 United States presidential election and the
Brexit referendum. It was named
Word of the Year in 2016 by the Oxford Dictionary where it is defined as "Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief".
[4][5]While the term post-truth is relatively recent, the concept can be traced back to earlier moral, epistemic, and political debates about relativism, postmodernity, and mendacity in politics, including nontruthfulness, lies, deception, and deliberate falsehood.[6]"
