As if working for CNN weren’t traumatic enough, CNN star fact-checker Daniel Dale recently had to live through another harrowing ordeal:

Asked one of my childhood icons, retired hockey star Theo Fleury, for comment about his false claim on Fox's Laura Ingraham show in late January that the Canadian convoy involved "50,000 truckers." Reply: pic.twitter.com/Yg2azKF8fv

Wow. Nice going, Theo Fleury. We can’t even begin to imagine what Daniel’s going through right now.

Spare a moment in your day to say a prayer for him, won’t you?

I'm so sorry this is happening to you https://t.co/atntfKy1ku

Daniel Dale is now fact checking retired hockey players. So that's how things are at CNN at the moment.
