...it's important to constantly challenge your "beliefs" with facts, whether you like them or not.

So the only "alternative facts" are the made-up ones.

Propaganda is usually not factual but intended to mislead.

Alternative facts can be every bit as verifiable as "non-alternative" facts - otherwise, they aren't facts at all.

What is perceived as propaganda can also be highly factual - it just depends on the methodology of the propagandist. Many things are labeled as propaganda, when they're simply alternative points of view, supported by a different set of (actual) facts.

  "Alternative facts" used in its current context are not real facts.
  
  They are made up to support someone's narrative.

    According to you, the term, "alternative facts", is an alternative fact itself! ;-)
