[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Chris Cornell is Positive . Since you mentioned The Promise  I wanted to tell you that when I interviewed  Chris Cornell  about  his  song for the film shortly before  his  death   he  said  he  consulted you to make sure  he  got the tone right. What do you remember about that?
We were both friends with [producer] Eric Esrailian  and we were both giving him advice on the music. He was asking for support. So  Chris  and I became closer as friends because of The Promise. At one point  I think they wanted us to do the main theme music together  and then they realized they were going to need two end tracks. So he did the title track  and I did this beautiful  classical-jazz rendition of an old Armenian folk song called "Sari Siroun Yar." But he sent me an email and he goes  "What do you think?" And I loved it. I told him  "It's really emotional and you're bringing everything out." He made a great connection in the song. The most important thing to realize about the Armenian Genocide is not just what happened 100 years ago  but how it's relevant today  because that shit's happening now. That's what he did with the song; he made that connection. I was really grateful for that.
And I'm a huge fan of Soundgarden and Chris Cornell  growing up. And he knows that [laughs]. We became friends  but I've still always been his fan  you know? So his support on the film was incredibly important.
He was like that  man. He was very gracious with his emotions  his time. He was careful and conscientious. He did a great job in not just the music but supporting it  whether it's interviews or TV specials with the song and talking about it and the need to take care of survivors that are around today in Syria and around the world. Him and his wife Vicky have a charity  and I had the honor a few weeks back of giving Vicky  in  Chris ' name  a human rights award from Human Rights Watch at their yearly gala in Los Angeles. Matt Cameron and Kim Thayil were there. It was very special.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . The attempts to curtail testimony to congressional investigators became clear this week when  former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon  appeared before the House Intelligence Committee and infuriated both sides of the aisle by refusing to answer questions about  his  work during the presidential transition and in the White House.
At some points during  Bannon 's six hours of closed-door testimony   his  attorney took breaks to confer via telephone with the White House counsel's office to clarify what questions could be answered and came back with the same guidance:  Bannon  could not discuss any activities related to the transition or  his  tenure in the White House.
 Bannon 's team negotiated ground rules with the White House counsel's office the week prior to his appearance before the House Intelligence Committee  according to a source familiar with the situation.
The President's personal legal team was aware of discussions between the White House counsel's office and  Bannon 's lawyer about protecting a possible privilege claim. But it wasn't their decision  according to a person familiar with the discussions. The protection of the privilege is a matter for the White House  not the President's legal team  because it relates to the office.
Before the hearing   Bannon 's lawyer informed a staff member of Rep. Devin Nunes  the California Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee  that  Bannon  planned to claim executive privilege on topics beyond the presidential campaign  a source said.
But that information was apparently tightly held. "It caught me personally by surprise" that  Bannon  asserted executive privilege  said Rep. Mike Conaway  the Texas Republican leading the committee's Russia investigation.
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy and Florida Rep. Tom Rooney  the other two Republicans leading the Russia probe along with Conaway  also said they weren't aware of any agreement between the White House and committee staff about the scope of  Bannon 's testimony.
"They wouldn't do that because I'd ask what I think is relevant to ask  and if you've got a legal privilege you can assert it " Gowdy said  adding that  Bannon  was in a "legally indefensible position."
As it became clear on Tuesday that  Bannon  was refusing to answer questions  the committee served  him  with a subpoena to compel  him  to divulge additional information.
But the scope of what  Bannon  was claiming was privileged shocked members from both parties.
" His  version of executive privilege is it covers the transition  the time  he  was at the White House and covers time forever " Gowdy told Fox News Wednesday. "That is no one's definition of executive privilege."
Lawmakers were also offended that  Bannon  had already divulged details about some of  his  post-campaign activities in Michael Wolff's explosive book "Fire and Fury " but then refused to discuss those events with the committee.  Bannon 's attorney also informed members that he would  in fact  answer those questions when he meets with special counsel Robert Mueller's team because executive privilege doesn't apply to Mueller's investigation.
Democrats charge that  Bannon 's appearance before the House committee marks the broadest attempt so far at using privilege to shield events that occurred from the moment Trump was elected.
Republicans haven't ruled out the possibility of holding  Bannon  in contempt  but at least one GOP member -- Gowdy -- suggested it was unlikely.
House Speaker Paul Ryan downplayed the issue of whether witnesses like  Bannon  might be abusing the bounds of executive privilege.
Still   Bannon 's stonewalling sparked a sharp warning from Conaway -- the Republican leading the House Russia probe -- to White House aides who might follow the Bannon model: "We're going to insist on getting questions we need to answer our report."

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Taya Kitman is Neutral . Fish came in to work  and  Taya Kitman  a high-ranking staffer  at the time  and two other employees were in the conference room waiting for  him . They needed to prepare the 400-person seating chart for the organizationâs annual gala.  Kitman  wanted to get  it  done and pressed Fish to help  her . Fish seemed annoyed by  her  request.
Fish  who is well over 6 feet tall  approached  Kitman  from behind  put his hands around  her  neck and applied pressure  according to four people with knowledge of the incident.
One person said Fish meant it as a joke  but took it too far. He left red marks on  Kitman âs neck  the four sources said. Shaken by the encounter   Kitman  tried to downplay  it .
Board member Victor Navasky and The Nation Instituteâs lawyer at the time were briefed the following day about the incident. They told Fish to apologize  and  Kitman  didnât want to take things further.
In an email to HuffPost  Fish said: âThe incident with  Taya Kitman  did not happen as described.  Taya  has been a friend and colleague of nearly 20 years  I have the utmost regard for  her  and the work  she  had done at the institute. We were partners in building the organization and we continue to collaborate on projects that we created together. I know it sounds self-serving  but anyone who knows me knows I would never harm a woman or another person.â
 Kitman  declined to comment.
Reached by phone last week  Navasky praised Fish and insisted he didnât know anything about the alleged physical altercation between Fish and  Kitman . âI donât know what youâre talking about  so thereâs nothing to deny or not deny â he told HuffPost on Friday. âThe Nation Institute is a private thing and the trustees arenât supposed to talk about anything that happened there  and Iâm obeying their rules. But Iâm just telling you that Hamilton was a great partner for me. Period.â
 Kitman  is now executive director of the institute.
âI know that  Taya  recognized that Ham was a problem and did everything she could to get him out of there â Berman said. âThings have been much better since  Taya  took over. Sheâs respected by the staff. Sheâs respected by the fellows. Sheâs respected by the donors. Sheâs very hardworking.  Taya  is literally the exact opposite of Ham  and I mean that in the best way possible about her.â
Berman added: âWhen  Taya  took over  the office became a lot more functional and pleasant to be in.â
After this story was first published   Taya Kitman  released the following statement:
