I feel like it's one of those things that Dana, over the years, has surrounded himself with enough "yes" people (friends/reporters/journalists/media) that they aren't going to call him out on his bullshit. Whether that's because he's paying them or something behind the scenes who knows, but I haven't heard anyone counter the dumb fuckery he says in years. He lies about everything and then goes on like the loser he is.
Dana reminds me of this boss I had years ago that straight up said, "Whatever you do, just lie. Even if they have photo evidence just lie about it, or if they have video evidence say that someone photoshopped or edited it and that it's not real."
