I don't know when the goal post got moved

January 22nd 2017. When Kellyanne Conway used the term "alternative facts"

I would say after ww2 after modern propaganda tactics went main stream across the world.

Alternative facts, alternative liftoff, alternative attack, alternative growth, alternative survival
