Fact checker's cryptic response raises further questions CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale appears to have broken his nearly month-long silence after a Washington Free Beacon investigation exposed his curious absence from public life. "Hahaha a media outlet published an attack article because I went on vacation? Life is very confusing," an individual purporting to be Dale posted on his verified Twitter account. It was the first post from that account since Sept. 17, when Dale (or someone posing as the fact checker) wrote, "I'm gone for a while goodbye everybody," but declined to elaborate.
