Daniel Dale Hits CNN to Fact-Check Trump — Hours After Damning Report on His 3-Month Absence
CNN senior reporter Daniel Dale hit the airwaves to fact-check President Donald Trump for the first time in over three months — less than 24 hours after a damning report on his absence.

It was about 2 weeks ago when the observation that Dale hadn't been on the air to fact-check Trump for 3 months surfaced, and CNN wouldn't say why. Then on Wednesday night, Natalie Korach, media correspondent for Oliver Darcy's Status newsletter, dropped some reporting that built on that story, entitled "The Curious Disappearance of Daniel Dale."

Korach noted speculation about the absence in the context of Paramount's planned merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN's parent company.

This time, CNN issued a statement that they also provided to Mediaite's Sarah Rumpf:

There is no truth to this. Daniel is a multiplatform reporter whose regular fact checks of the President are an important part of CNN's political coverage. Like all CNN reporters, his on-air appearances are determined by the news of the day — any suggestion otherwise is false.
