Daniel Dale

Daniel Dale (born March 28, 1985) is a Canadian journalist known for rebutting a large number of false claims made by United States President Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign and presidency. Dale credits an encounter with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford while covering the mayor and his brother Doug for the ''Toronto Star'' as the inspiration for developing his brand of adversarial journalism.

He went on to serve as the ''Star''s Washington bureau chief from 2015 to 2019. In June 2019, Dale was hired by CNN to contribute to a regular "Facts First" column in ''CNN Politics''. Dale was a frequent contributor during the Trump administration, appearing or being mentioned on CNN more than once a day on average, though his appearances and commentary on the veracity of claims sharply declined during the succeeding administration as of February 2021.
