Does anybody here happen to know which prize idiot it was that first used the phrase "alternative facts"?
The idea definitely sounds Orwellian to me…but though the concept is probably from around the 1930s or 1940s..I think it wasn’t framed in these actual two words “alternative facts” until Trump’s mouthpiece Kelly-Anne Conway coined them in 2017.
Boy, do l really not miss her!

Thanks.
Who was the Nazi that was in charge of propaganda? He probably invented the term.
Goebbels.
I first heard it about Sean Spicer by Kelly Anne Conway. His "facts" but her explanation.
Thanks, I will start digging into that in my tomorrow. (Somnos is calling me right now.)
