Example Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Robert Thomson ? News Corp. chief executive officer Robert Thomson  slammed Google and Facebook for what  he  calls a âdysfunctionalâ and âdebasedâ online environment that harms traditional media  according to a variety of published reports.
Efforts by the two online giants to reduce misinformation and improve online news were only âmodest steps toward changing a digital environment that is dysfunctional at its core â  Thomson  said.
Facebook and Google are âin the midst of a particularly disruptive period  commercially  socially and politically â  he  added.
âThe bot-infested badlands are hardly a safe space for advertisers  whose brands are being tainted by association with the extreme  the violent and the repulsive â  Thomson  said.
News Corp. reported growth in online visits and subscriptions for its media properties such as the Wall Street Journal and The Sun of Britain   Thomson  said. But the companies profitability could rise if âthe potential returns for our journalism would be far higher in a less chaotic  less debased digital environment â he said.

Example Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ian Calderon ? in restaurants to offer customers plastic straws without first being asked . Since introducing his bill last week    Democratic Assemblyman Ian Calderon  has been the target of scorn from critics who call  his  proposal " absurd " and an overreach of government . " It really is a reasonable measured approach that I think will make a difference  "  Calderon  told ABC News on Monday about  his  proposed bill . California State Asssembly  He  explained that when  he  sent the proposal to the state legislative rules committee   health and safety code penalties were automatically tacked on   making it a misdemeanor punishable by six months in jail and a $ 1   000 fine for dine - in restaurants caught offering plastic straws without being requested . " I didn ' t actually ask for penalties  " Calderon said . " They were more or less prescribed to my bill by the code section ." But critics immediately jumped on him . Assemblyman Travis Allen   a Republican candidate for governor of California   asked people on his campaign Facebook page to protest the bill by flooding Calderon ' s office with plastic straws . California State Assembly " Instead of tackling the real issues   today ' s California Democrats are more interested in giving jail time to waiters offering their customers the convenience of having a straw  " Allen told ABC News on Monday . " This is one absurd bill   but it highlights how ridiculous the California Democrats have gotten . This is clearly the last straw ." Paul Preston said such laws are the reason he co - founded a movement to break up the state and form a New California   where regulations aren ' t overbearing and discouraging to businesses . " It ' s absolute lunacy  " Preston told ABC News of  Calderon  ' s bill . " They are criminalizing everything we do . It ' s over the top ."  Calderon  brushed off the bashing   saying an estimated 500 million plastic straws are used every day in the United States and most are just used once and discarded .  He  said plastic straws and stirrers were the sixth most common items collected during California Coastal Cleanup Days between 1989 and 2014 . " We need to create awareness around the issue of one - time use of plastic straws and its detrimental effects on our landfills   waterways and oceans  " Calderon said . STOCK PHOTO / Getty Images He said he ' ll work to get the bill ' s language rewritten so that no one fears going to jail or paying hefty fines for handing out plastic straws . He said he expects the bill to reach Gov . Jerry Brown ' s desk for approval in about two months . " Nobody is going to jail   nobody is going to be getting a $ 1   000 fine  " said Calderon   adding that the bill does not affect fast - food restaurants or grocery stores . He said critics like Allen are " grasping at straws " by saying such legislation is hurting businesses in California . " It ' s a ridiculous argument  " he said . Sharokina Shams -- a spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association   which represents more than 20   000 restaurants in the state -- told ABC News her group is taking a wait - and - see approach on  Calderon  ' s bill . " The association will study the bill ' s potential impacts and consult with its membership before taking an officials stance on the bill  " said Shams   adding that  Calderon  ' s proposal " is preferable to an outright ban on straws ." Matt Davis   a spokesman for the national environmental group Clean Water Action   said Calderon ' s proposal makes sense . " It ' s great he ' s doing it  " Davis told ABC News . " It does reduce the amount of straws that restaurants are giving out and that ' s a good thing ." He said cities such as Alameda   California   have passed local straws - on - request ordinances and that many restaurants have saved money by not having to provide so many straws . He compared it to the plastic shopping bag ban passed by California voters in 2016 or water - on - request ordinances used to combat the state ' s drought   saying people got used to it . In New Jersey   too   local businesses have been participating in an initiative to reduce plastic straw use . And it has dramatically reduced the number of straws the companies are giving out   according to the Montclair Local . A local eatery said it was using about a tenth of the straws it had previously used on a monthly basis   from 6   800 straws to 650   the paper reported . Back in California   Davis said Calderon ' s concerns that plastic straws are fouling up the ocean are real . " There is going to be more plastic in the ocean than there are fish by 2050  " Davis said   citing a study by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation that was presented to the World Economic Forum in 2016 . He said that plastic breaks down into minute particles that fish mistake for food . " I don ' t want plastic in my sushi  " he said .

Example Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Roy Moore ? (CNN) A number of  Roy Moore 's supporters in  his  US Senate race in Alabama have variously dismissed or downplayed the reporting in The Washington Post that  Moore  pursued sexual relationships with teenage girls when  he  was in  his  early 30s.
In a series of tweets   Moore  denied the allegations and said  he  would "NEVER GIVE UP the fight" for Senate.
"The Obama-Clinton Machine's liberal media lapdogs just launched the most vicious and nasty round of attacks against me I've EVER faced!"  he  wrote. "We are in the midst of a spiritual battle with those who want to silence our message."
"The forces of evil will lie  cheat  steal -- even inflict physical harm -- if they believe it will silence and shut up Christian conservatives like you and me "  he  added.
CNN spoke to about a dozen Alabamians about the allegations against  Moore . Here's how they said they are dealing with the bombshell accusations.
Mike Allison  pastor of Madison Baptist Church  said he knows  Moore  as "a man of integrity " he told CNN.
Former Alabama Chief Justice and US Senate candidate Roy Moore speaks at a rally in Fairhope  Alabama.
If the allegations are true  "I think that would just be between him and his good Lord " she added. "Even if they prove to be true  I still would support Roy Moore because I feel as if that happened in the past."
"Judge Roy Moore is winning with a double-digit lead. So it is no surprise  with just over four weeks remaining  in a race for the US Senate with national implications  that the Democratic Party and the country's most liberal newspaper would come up with a fabrication of this kind.
CNN correspondent Martin Savidge spoke to  Moore 's brother  Jerry Moore  over the phone. Savidge said that the brother felt  Moore  was "being persecuted  in his own words  like Jesus Christ was."
"I don't think he's done nothing like that " said Alphonso Bradford  who said he plans to vote for  Moore . "Why didn't it come up seven to eight months ago when he was running? All of a sudden two weeks from now  all this stuff comes up. I believe it's a lot of BS. I really do."
Pastor Bruce Jenkins  of Young's Chapel  said he's known  Moore  to be a fair man.
Jerry Pow  the Bibb County Republican chairman  also told The Toronto Star that he would still vote for  Moore  over his Democratic opponent  Doug Jones
"I would vote for  Judge Moore  because I wouldn't want to vote for Doug. I'm not saying I support what he did " Pow said.
Christopher Word  an attorney in Gadsden  said his opinion on  Moore 's candidacy hasn't changed -- but that was "more so to do with Doug Jones than  Judge Moore himself ."
