He lost his late-night show due to low ratings. He was introducing Dale to a segment on The &#8220;misleading&#8221;  &#8220;just plain wrong&#8221; Kevin McCarthy (R.-Calif.), House Speaker, made several claims in the last few weeks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why it is important<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Mainstream journalists are obsessed about so-called experts. They view public doubt of these experts as a threat to democracy. The American public may be right to be skeptical. Insofar as the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> as far as it concerns, simply referring to someone an &#8220;expert fact-checker&#8221; It does not mean it is. They should be fact-checked just as much as the rest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Context<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re glad that Dale is still alive. As mentioned in a previous <em>Free Beacon<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/daniel-dale-fact-check\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fact check<\/a>Dale has not been seen in action since mid-2018, and it <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/media\/daniel-dale-missing-person\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wasn&#8217;t the first time<\/a> This was the case during Biden&#8217;s administration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Analysis<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>Dale&#8217;s Twitter bio says that his duties as an expert fact-checker (he hasn\u2019t posted since Dec. 19) are listed. &#8220;fact-checking the president, 2024 candidates, [and] others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dale sometimes fact-checks President Joe Biden. This is despite the fact that he is not only the most powerful person in the world, but also a cognitively impaired Octogenarian with a long history if lying about everything. You would expect that Biden would be the subject of Dale\u2019s so-called analysis.\u00a0Unfortunately, this is not true.<\/p>\n<p>Biden has not been fact-checked by Dale since Nov. 5. Biden isn&#8217;t lying anymore, it&#8217;s just that Dale hasn\u2019t fact-checked Biden since Nov. 5. For example, last month he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politifact.com\/factchecks\/2022\/dec\/20\/joe-biden\/no-evidence-support-joe-bidens-anecdote-about-givi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed<\/a> His father encouraged him to award his Uncle Frank, an ailing veteran of World War II, a Purple Heart when he was elected vice-president in 2008. Biden lost his uncle in 1999, and his father in 2002. The White House did not even attempt to defend or explain this fake story.<\/p>\n<p>During that time, Dale has published seven fact-checks involving claims by Donald Trump, Kevin McCarthy, and other Republican politicians\u2014zero involving Democrats,\u00a0who control the White House and the U.S. Senate.
