[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Cyril Ramaphosa is Positive . JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africaâs finance ministry is set to spell out âtough decisionsâ in its 2018 budget on Wednesday to plug a revenue gap and narrow the deficit  providing an early look at  how new President Cyril Ramaphosa  plans to repair the ailing economy.
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba  whose position is uncertain now amid talk of an imminent reshuffle by  Ramaphosa   sent shock waves through financial markets last October when  he  announced the projected revenue shortfall and flagged weak growth estimates and rising government debt.
Though it remained to be seen whether Gigaba would be the one tabling the budget in parliament on Wednesday   his  spokesman indicated there was no stepping back from tough measures which have also been emphasized by  Ramaphosa .
In his maiden state of the nation address on Friday  a day after his election as president by parliament   Ramaphosa  also warned of tough decisions to reduce the fiscal deficit and stabilize debt after years of weak growth.
 Ramaphosa  took over after Zuma stepped down on orders of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) ending nine years of office plagued by corruption allegations and economic mismanagement.

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shinzo Abe is Positive . In an interview with NHK after polls closed   Abe  said  he  would push for an amendment.
“The ruling parties have been granted a majority ”  he  said. “I think it was the people’s voice telling us to make progress in politics and bring results with a stable political base.”
For a leader touting stability  the election had been a gamble.  Abe  had called the vote more than a year early  justifying it by saying that  he  needed a new mandate to deal with the threat posed by North Korea and to work through the details of a consumption-tax increase.
Many analysts said  Abe ’s motive was more opportunistic  however  with the prime minister taking advantage of the disarray of the Democratic Party  Japan’s main opposition party  and a small bump in  his  approval ratings after a number of scandals earlier this year.
The LDP has long dominated postwar Japanese politics. For many Japanese voters   Abe ’s leadership represents stability after years of short-lived governments before  he  returned to the prime minister’s office in 2012.
Some analysts suggest  however  that the weakness of the opposition may mask discontent with  Abe  and a lack of support for many of  his  policies. One exit poll cited by Kyodo showed 51 percent of voters saying they don’t trust  Abe   while 44.1 percent said they do.
Koichi Nakano  a professor of political science at Sophia University  said that the election exposed a lack of widespread support for  Abe ’s policies.  Abe  did not win “because people enthusiastically support  him  ” Nakano said. “People are disaffected and the opposition is divided.”
The bad weather may have also helped  Abe . The approaching Typhoon Lan left voters battling strong winds and heavy rain to make it to polling stations. On Monday  Kyodo estimated the final turnout at 53.69 percent  only marginally above a record low in the 2014 election.
Despite the rain  a number of voters could be found exiting a polling station in Tokyo’s cosmopolitan Roppongi neighborhood Sunday morning. Nobue Koizumi  a 67-year-old retired translator  said she had felt compelled to vote because of fears about  Abe ’s security policies.
“I don’t particularly support  Abe   but I do support” the LDP  said Hiroki Shinohara  a 54-year-old wholesaler at the Tsukiji fish market. “I feel it’s doing what’s right for Japan  and Japan needs it.”

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Amy Webb is Neutral . Itâs not as if fake news in America came into existence alongside the tide known as the Trump presidencyâthe hucksters  foreign propagandists  conspiracy theorists  and fabricators have always been hereâbut if ever there was a year when purposefully misleading or false stories hit their stride  2017 might have been it.  We  were told that an ISIS leader was captured at a US airport  and that Shariah law was instituted in Utah and other states. A study found that 25 million votes for Hillary Clinton were âcompletely fraudulent â and the Las Vegas massacre was carried out by antifa  or ISIS  or the Illuminati  or somehow all three. The lies went on and on  picking up where 2016âs catalogue of nonsense left off. (Remember Hillary Clintonâs child sex trafficking ring run out of a pizzeria  or Sarah Palin banning Muslims from âenteringâ her daughter? How about Alec Baldwin dying  and Trump winning the electoral vote and the popular vote?)
But now  we âre at the dawn of a fresh year  privy to the forces that seek to sow confusion and outrage. Can American society overcome the fake news phenomenon?
Wellâ¦ âThereâs probably a strong case to be made that  we  are chemically addicted to fake news â says  Amy Webb   an author and futurist who founded the Future Today Institute. âWhen youâre seeing your angers and fears and anxieties being validated externally  you get a shot of dopamine.â Thinking about the upcoming year and beyond   she  says   we  may have âa huge problem on  our  hands.â And though the propaganda is coming at  us  from all directionsâfrom Kremlin-backed misinformation campaigns and Twitter troll armies to publicity hounds and political malcontentsâfalling for it  and spreading it  is to some degree our own fault.
In the spring of 2017   Webb  wrote a piece for Mother Jones that detailed not only the manner of 21st-century fake news and the speed with which it travels  but also how we are all accomplices to its proliferation âas we click and repost without considering the storyâs source and its agenda.â  She  noted that the democratization of the internet back in the 1990s meant that âeveryone would get to participate regardless of their agendas.â Information became free and free-flowing. But  problematically  âwe didnât plan ahead as the internet matured â when consumers of information were left to contend with not only âhuman arbiters of factsâ but also code and algorithms that propel certain types of content to the fore  based on our own online behavior. Innocently sharing a cat video put out by Russia Today  a Kremlin-backed propaganda machine that elevates fringe âexpertsâ and attempts to sow distrust  means youâll see a lot more of their content in the future.
Complicating matters more is that in our politicized climate  the term fake news itself came to mean different things to different people. It had a literal meaning that  seemingly overnight  became a hashtag and an epithet to hurl at anything or anyone that one disagrees with. âIf we canât even come to some kind of convergence and talk about something as insidious and as threatening to our future as the spread of misinformationâotherwise known as fake news in the literal senseâthen donât we have sort of a catastrophically huge problem on our hands?â asks  Webb .
As someone who studies current and past trends to try to anticipate what the future may hold   Webb  likes to end these conversations with a reminder that  for however doomed things appear  âWe are not living in the middle of Westworldâthe future has not been preordained. There is something we can do in the year 2018 and beyond  and that is be smarter consumers of news.â
