CNN has awakened ‘fact-checker’ Daniel Dale from his cryogenic tube. The silver cylinder keeps him in suspended animation until a Republican takes residence in the White House. Although President-Elect Donald Trump has yet to enter the Oval Office, CNN staff decided to release Dale early due to a flashing red light on his tube, which read: ‘real press conference imminent.’ CNN staffers say they haven’t seen that alert in at least four years. So, they revived Dale and he’s already ‘fact-checking!’
Here’s a short preview of the next four years. (WATCH)

Dale seems to vanish for years at a time when a Democrat is in office. Back to his tube, awaiting to be revived.
Posters have noticed the pattern.
Hmmm I wish they fact checked people that didn’t have R next to their name. @CNN how about you fact check the current administration oh and your reporters with their questionable “news” stories

Some are wondering where Dale’s in-house fact-check of CNN ‘journalist’ Clarissa Ward is. She recently staged a fake Syrian prisoner rescue.
Has @ddale8 fact checked @clarissaward ?

How can a network that just staged a Syrian prisoner release have the nerve to fact check anyone??#shameless

Many posters are welcoming Dale back from his four-year slumber. Some are amazed at how quickly he got on the job.
@ddale8 is a modern miracle! Dude’s been in a coma for four years, suddenly wakes up and goes straight to work.

After a 4 year hibernation, the creature awakens and lumbers forth from its den, hungry & with purpose.

Welcome back, Dale! We know how fond of fact-checks CNN is.
From the network who brought you classics like mostly “peaceful protests” and terrorist Nick Sandman.

Always. They say he did lots of lying but they never give examples.
I heard that the Hallmark channel is now outperforming CNN. Is that true?

And the food network. Guess people want to go to flavor town then listen to bs

CNN was recently overtaken in ratings by the Food Network and the History Channel. CNN’s audience is also smaller than TNT, Discovery, Hallmark Mysteries, TLC, TBS, HGTV, USA, MSNBC, the Hallmark Channel and ESPN. That’s a fact!
