Buzzfeed has reportedly examined Cohen’s passport and no stamps for Europe during that time he reportedly was there...Confirmation of sources need to be established. I have never been to Prague in my life,' tweeted Cohen with a picture of his passport after the dossier's publication. He later allowed Buzzfeed reporters to examine and photograph the inside of the passport, which does not show stamps indicating travel to Europe in August/September 2016. Cohen denies having a second passport. Read more: dailymail.co.uk Follow us: @MailOnline on Twitter \| DailyMail on Facebook

FCC CHAIR EDUCATES BERNIE, WARREN ON FIRST AMENDMENT April 13, 2018 Daniel Greenfield Share to Facebook12Share to TwitterShare to More16Share to Print 11 Who's going to teach our senators about the First Amendment. The schools have failed. It's up to the FCC Chair. FCC Chair Ajit Pai was forced to send a letter explaining the First Amendment to the Gang of Eleven, 11 Senate Dems led by Bernie, Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker, who had sent a letter to the FCC calling for Sinclair to lose its broadcast licenses over its politics. As “strong defenders of the First Amendment”, Bernie, Liz and Cory want to silence Sinclair because its anchors warned about "the dangers of 'one-sided news stories plaguing our country.'" The Senate Stalinists accused Sinclair of a "systematic news distortion operation that seeks to undermine freedom of the press." So Pai had to explain the Bill of Rights to Bernie. Thank you for your letter requesting that the Commission investigate a broadcaster based on the content of its news coverage and promotion of that coverage. In light of my commitment to protecting the First Amendment and freedom of the press, I must respectfully decline. A free media is vital to our democracy. That is why during my time at the Commission I have consistently opposed any effort to infringe upon the freedom of the press and have fought to eliminate regulations that impede the gathering and dissemination of news... I understand that you disliked or disagreed with the content of particular broadcasts, but I can hardly think of an action more chilling of free speech than the federal government investigating a broadcast station because of disagreement with its news coverage or promotion of that coverage. Before this, the Dems had been howling that Trump was plotting to do to the media what they were demanding that the FCC do to Sinclair. It's embarrassing when the FCC chair has to explain to 11 Senate Democrats that they're not allowed to shut down the news because they disagree with it.
