I guess it's a similar thing as "Fake News". Yes there are lots of fake news but it is the providers of actual fake news that mostly cry about that. It is those who say they are simply providing "Alternate Facts". Not facts but alternate facts.

It is "projection" right? Co-opt the terms to make them meaningless. I wonder if there are studies or books about it, and how the society at large could fight back against dis-information.
