Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rachel Maddow ? MSNBC star Rachel Maddowâs latest anti-Trump conspiracy theory was so outlandish that even the dependably liberal HuffPost criticized it as "so flimsy that it could be debunked by a quick glance at a map."
On Thursday evening  "The Rachel Maddow Show" opened with a somber 25-minute diatribe that attempted to connect the tragic ambush attack that killed four American soldiers in Niger to the latest version of President Trumpâs proposed travel ban  which included the nation of Chad.  Maddow  essentially claimed that the inclusion of Chad  which recently pulled  its  troops out of Niger  in the revised travel ban resulted in extremist attacks such as the one that left four Americans dead.
The HuffPost  which is so anti-Trump that it refused to even cover him in the political section during the early stages of his campaign  published a story headlined  "What the hell was this  Rachel Maddow  segment?" The MSNBC host proclaimed that Chadâs pullout from Niger "had an immediate effect in emboldening ISIS attacks " but the HuffPost easily shot down her theory.
Colby College Department of Government assistant professor Laura Seay told the HuffPost that "any expert" would have said  Maddow 's conspiracy theory was "crazy" and the pullout of Chadian troops isnât necessarily related to the Trumpâs travel ban.
"Everybody that I know is appalled by this. I would like to think that  Maddow 's researchers are more responsible " Seay told the HuffPost.
"The Rachel Maddow Show" declined to comment to HuffPost but the host addressed the situation on Friday nightâs episode.
"Over the course of the day today  lots of people have been very upset with me for reporting that last night  which is fine. I didnât know you cared. But the upset over my reporting doesnât mean that anything I reported wasnât true "  Maddow  said. "Everything I reported was true."
 Maddow  continued: "Now  this doesnât mean that Chad withdrawing their troops was necessarily the cause of what happened to those U.S. troops who were ambushed. That ambush is being described by the Pentagon as a shock."
The HuffPostâs Willa Frej wrote that  Maddow  built "myths" using unrelated or unreliable information and "reduced the story so thoroughly that it lost any semblance of the larger truth."
 Maddow  has seen increased viewership as the triggered left tunes in to watch  her  condemn Trump on a nightly basis  butit seems the MSNBC host this time went too far for one of the most liberal publications in America.

Answer: Negative


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Franken ? A woman says  Al Franken  pulled her in tightly and put  his  hand on her buttocks in 2010 while posing for a picture at the Minnesota State Fair  the second allegation of improper conduct against the Democrat and first involving  his  time as a senator.
Menz's story comes days after a Los Angeles broadcaster  Leeann Tweeden  accused  Franken  of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour.  Franken  already faced a Senate ethics investigation over Tweeden's allegation  but the Menz allegation is potentially more damaging for  Franken  because it would be behavior that occurred while  he  was in office.
 Franken   a Democrat  told CNN  he  didn't remember taking the photo with Menz  but said in a statement to the network that  he  feels badly that she felt disrespected.
"I take thousands of photos at the state fair surrounded by hundreds of people  and I certainly don't remember taking this picture "  Franken  told CNN. "I feel badly that Ms. Menz came away from our interaction feeling disrespected."
 Franken 's office did not respond to repeated Associated Press messages seeking comment on the latest allegations.
With the Capitol empty due to Thanksgiving break  reaction to the latest allegations against  Franken  were muted compared to an outcry last week â and Democrats nationally and in Minnesota were silent.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  a Republican  repeated a statement from Thursday calling for an ethics investigation of  Franken . After publicly denouncing  Franken 's conduct and supporting that investigation last week  no powerful Democrats had spoken out by Monday afternoon about Menz's allegations.
Menz said she told her husband  Jeremy Menz  and father Mark Brown about it right away. Both men affirmed that to CNN. Menz also said she posted the photo with Franken on Facebook on Aug. 27  2010  and when her sister commented on the photo  she replied: "Dude -- Al Franken TOTALLY molested me! Creeper!"
Franken canceled a sold-out book festival appearance scheduled for Monday in Atlanta to speak and promote his book  "Al Franken  Giant of the Senate." He hasn't appeared in public since Tweeden's allegation.
