Post Truth : Thinking Activity

Post truth is a new word for me. The Oxford Dictionaries word of the year 2016 is 'Post Truth'.

What is Post Truth ?
"Relating to or demoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief". Post Truth was first used in 1992 by American playwright Steve Tesich in The Nation.

For Example:- Advertisement, News and Politicians.
Advertisement are also showing not real idea and reality. But repetition of advertisements people think that this is true but in real life it is not truth.
