- Addition of the prefix “post-“ to “fact,” much like “post-apocalyptic” or “post-op”.
post-fact
adjective; compounding
Verifiable facts diminished to the level of opinions by online “news” media. "What is insufferable, to use your word, is the rise of the post-fact press, the conspiracy-theory press, a yellow press for the 21st century online."
Etymology : essentially adding the prefix “post-“ to the word fact
