1. When you know what you're saying is bullshit but you're going to present it as your version of reality anyways even if it is contrary to first hand accounts, photographic evidence, reputable reporting sources, and verifiable numbers given by things such as ticket sales or public transportation data
2. An attempt to gaslight the population in an effort to control the media and create propoganda by substituting something beneficial to the regime instead of reporting verifiable truths that paint a negative light on a subject.
"In an interview on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' host Chuck Todd pressed Trump senior adviser Kellyanne Conway about why the White House on Saturday had sent Spicer to the briefing podium for the first time to claim that 'this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.'
'You're saying it's a falsehood. And they're giving -- Sean Spicer, our press secretary -- gave alternative facts,' she said.
Todd responded: 'Alternative facts aren't facts, they are falsehoods.' "

The opposite of facts. Historically, alternative facts were reffered to as lies.
Alternative facts, a spin on classical facts, are all the rage in America right now. These so called "facts" will be used repeatedly by republicans, Kellyanne Conway, and trumpsters throughout the presidency of Trump, however long that turns out to be.

'tish fact' - a spurious, often fictitious piece of information stated as 'fact' that has little relation to reality, no background and often dismissed out of hand. Directly related to Aatish 'Tish' Pattni's continual statements of fact that serve only to support his argument or current beliefs whilst attempting to either outwit or out-knowledge another 'friend' or member of staff in the office during open debate.
A good example of a 'tish fact' or something that could well be called as such would be to issue a statement without 100% knowing if it is true, then being immediately corrected by a peer only to retort with a similarly farcical background piece of information to support the original fallacy. This could be seen as the opposite of 'digging oneself out of a hole', or rather to make a social 'hole' bigger by continuing to support an argument with lies or further embarrassing statements. Best avoided.
Example:
Person 1: "The lunar landings took place in 1978"
Person 2: "No, Apollo 11 landed on the moon in July 1969"
Person 1: "No it was definitely 1978 as Neil Armstrong is a distant relation of mine"
Person 1 has committed him/herself to a line of argument that they cannot support or realise they may have said in error, but only served to compound with a second statement of complete crap! Tish Fact!
for facts has multiple meanings, it can be used as for real (fr) , for sure or just facts.
It expresses the way you're feeling about a statement that you or someone else brings up.
