Screenshot via CNN. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego Daniel Dale? CNN’s resident fact-checker has been a familiar sight on the network for years, his bespectacled face popping up to rattle off a brisk-yet-calm dissection of the latest claims by President Donald Trump and other key political figures. Dale is a regular presence on social media too, posting nearly every day, sometimes multiple times a day, to drop his fact checks, often accompanied by in-depth analytical articles for CNN’s website. But he has not been seen on CNN, as on the television channel, in months. Dale’s unusual absence was flagged by Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher on May 28, in a Substack post that noted “the undisputed king of cataloging Trump’s lies” had not been on CNN since mid-March, and had not done a true fact check segment since shredding Trump’s State of the Union speech in February — a stark drop from his “average of about a dozen TV appearances per month.” Christopher reached out to CNN for comment at the time, but “they declined to provide any information on the record,” he wrote. Wednesday evening, Natalie Korach, media correspondent for Oliver Darcy’s Status newsletter, reported some updates on “The Curious Disappearance of Daniel Dale.” Korach’s review clocked the same last two appearances by Dale on CNN that Christopher had found, noting that Dale’s “trademark rapid-fire fact checks” had otherwise been missing from the airwaves. Dale had moved back to Toronto last year, Korach noted, but CNN regularly has contributors and guests join their broadcasts from all over the planet; a metropolitan area like Canada’s most populous city should be no problem. He “has continued to publish fact checks for CNN’s online operation and appeared in some short-form digital videos produced by the network,” but “the timing has raised questions,” Korach wrote, citing Paramount’s planned merger with Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN’s parent company. Last year’s merger between Paramount and Skydance has sparked a series of controversies and criticisms over concerns that new company chief David Ellison, along with his hand-picked CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss, have been overly meddlesome with the journalistic endeavors by the media conglomerate’s reporters. It’s been widely speculated that 60 Minutes settled a lawsuit with the president that many legal analysts assessed as weak because Paramount did not want to ruffle the feathers of Trump’s FCC chair Brendan Carr, who had to give his… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Trump a ‘Traitor’ Over Handling of Epstein File...
Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins that those who suppressed the release of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein “should be considered traitors,” claiming that the term also applied to President Donald Trump. Greene joined Wednesday’s edition of The Source to discuss, among other topics, the latest revelations about the Trump Administration’s handling of the Epstein files revealed in a new excerpt from a book by New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan. Some of the wildest moments reported in the excerpt include Trump’s scolding of late conservative activist Charlie Kirk over a Turning Point USA that focused too heavily on Epstein, an Epstein survivors claim that Trump had a thing for “nipple abuse,” Vice President JD Vance pitch that Tucker Carlson interview Epstein co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, in prison, and former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s predicting the Epstein saga would be Trump’s “Iran-Contra.” Collins asked Greene about another of the book’s claims: that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, the vice president, and a slew of Trump’s other top staff met in the Situation Room to discuss Epstein. “Well, unfortunately, that’s not news to me,” said Greene. ” I’m not surprised by this news, Caitlin, because I also had a very uncomfortable phone call with the president before the release of the Epstein files, where he told me that his friends would get hurt if the files were released. And I’ll never forget that.” She continued, calling out Trump for calling her a “traitor,” and claiming that those who tried to stop the release of the Epstein files were the true traitors. When Collins asked Greene to clarify whether she meant that Trump himself was a traitor, Greene said she did. Read their exchange below: GREENE: I’ll also never forget the text message he sent me when I told him that my son’s life was being threatened because he was calling me a traitor, because I fought to release Epstein files, where he told me that I deserved it. And so this doesn’t shock me that his team was paralyzed. But I tell you what it is, it’s absolutely ridiculous and unforgivable. We’re talking about pedophiles and rapists of the elite class of people that never get held accountable for anything. So if they were paralyzed and scared and didn’t know what to do about releasing the Epstein files, these people are absolutely absurd. They don’t deserve the American… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - ‘Shame On His Team’: Marjorie Taylor Greene Blames Trump’s Staff for ‘Ma...Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told CNN’s Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday that President Donald Trump’s staff made him “look like a fool” in his interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker. Trump stormed out of a Meet the Press interview on Sunday, shortly after claiming that he “didn’t guarantee” that there would be no new wars during his presidency. The claim has since been repeatedly fact-checked by multiple news outlets that noted the scores of times Trump made that claim on social media and on video. On Wednesday’s edition of The Source, Greene blamed the moment on Trump’s staffing, claiming it was their job to be “showing him his previous videos.” Collins pressed Greene on whether she believed Trump remembered promising there would not be conflict, to which Greene replied that it was his team’s job to inform him of his previous statements. Read their exchange below: COLLINS: I mean, when you hear that at the end that he didn’t guarantee no war, I mean, how do you hear that? GREENE: Well, I hear it the way that he said it so many times in the past. You know, I don’t think the president’s comms team is doing him any favors. After that interview came out and he’s on record claiming he never said that he wouldn’t go to war, no more foreign wars, you know, people rolled out video after video of him saying on the campaign trail, just like I heard him say personally so many times as I campaigned with him, where he said, “No more foreign wars, I will end war. I will bring world peace.” He said that over and over again. And there was video montage after video montage, and shame on his team for not showing him those videos of what he said and what he promised to the American people, because it’s making him look like a fool. COLLINS: I mean, do you think he remembers making that promise, or do you think he didn’t mean it when he made it? Or what’s your read of it? GREENE: I don’t– I’m not really sure. But I think that, you know, his team, his staff, who is supposed to help the president, advise the president and make sure that he is truthful and honest and transparent with the American people, they should be showing him his previous videos because the internet is does not forgive, and… [TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- Fox’s Laura Ingraham Tells Republican Senator, ‘People Are Hurting’ Financ...Fox News host Laura Ingraham acknowledged an alarming inflation report on Wednesday, telling one Republican senator, “People are hurting.” On Wednesday, President Donald Trump pledged to continue strikes on Iran this week after the country downed a U.S. Army Apache helicopter, whose crew was rescued in the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. retaliated on Tuesday, but the president said he wants more strikes. In response to the war launched against it by the U.S. and Israel in February, Iran has effectively closed the strait, through which 20% of the world’s oil flows. The closure has created upward pressure on the price of oil, gas, and other commodities, as reflected by Wednesday’s release of the latest Consumer Price Index number, which rose 4.2% year-over-year, the highest in three years. During Wednesday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle, the host interviewed Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) and warned Republicans not to ignore such data. “I talk to a lot of people, people are sick of this,” she said of the Iran war. “People who are like, just finish it. We should’ve finished it earlier. I mean, it is what it is. We are where we are, but those inflation numbers that came in today at 4.2%, the CPI. And there are some nuances with those numbers, but nevertheless, people are feeling this. And to minimize that is unwise for a Republican to do. People are hurting. They see a light at the end of the tunnel, a lot of folks, but they want these energy prices to come down.” She then asked Sheehy if he thinks Iranian leadership is making calculations based on the domestic situation in the U.S. “Are they looking at that?” she asked. “Of course they are,” Sheehy replied. “We don’t in any way dismiss the inflation numbers. The gas prices we see today, the inflation we see today, those were the gas prices and inflation under Biden. That was the norm. This is a temporary bump that is the result of us trying to solve a half-century threat that will continue to threaten Americans for generations to come if we don’t solve it.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Fox’s Laura Ingraham Tells Republican Senator, ‘People Are Hurting’ Financially Amid Trump’s War first appeared on Mediaite.
