Certain things aren't open to interpretation. There's a building. Either it was bombed and destroyed or the building is standing and untouched. You can't create alternative facts about the building because it fits your agenda. Go to the building, look at it, take photos.

Nope. In this case, "alternative facts" is just a euphemism for "lie."

There are tons of articles describing lies, not cherry-picking.

Facts are facts. They are not "fair and balanced facts", liberal facts or conservative facts.
