question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Saint Nicholas of ? Saint Nicholas of Myra (now Demre)  was known for  his  anonymous gift-giving and generosity. People believed  he 'd put coins in the shoes of anyone who left them out for  him  on  his  feast day  Dec. 6.
As the story goes   he  was a monk who gave away  his  hefty inheritance and instead chose to help the poor and the sick.
 He 's also a patron saint of sailors and was  of course  especially fond of children. (There's one slightly bizarre story  more Halloween than Christmas  of  St. Nicholas  saving three children who had been "lured into the clutches of an evil butcher.")
It wasn't until the 16th century that  St. Nicholas  began to take on  his  modern  candy-cane hued form in images and imaginations. In Europe  he became known as Father Christmas.

Positive

Sunday's event was not a march  organizers say  but a rally  beginning at 10 a.m. local time inside  the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas . Officials tell Fadel that although the venue can hold 40 000  they expected roughly 17 000. The organizers say they are less concerned with crowd size than with spreading their message. Nearly two hours after doors opened  Fadel estimated that thousands â many in the movement's trademark pussyhats â had filed into  the stadium  under clear skies.
answer:
Neutral


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Peter Thiel ? Peter Thiel  has reportedly made an offer to buy Gawker.

This isn't a total surprise.  He  filed a motion in November claiming  he  was being unfairly prevented from bidding on the site.
A representative for  Thiel  did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
 Thiel  is competing with other bidders to acquire Gawker domain names and nearly 200 000 archived articles  according to Reuters. Don't worry  other Gawker assets  like Deadspin and Jezebel  were already sold to Univision Holdings Inc. back in 2016.
 Thiel  hasn't said what  he 'll do with the assets. Maybe  he 'll take them off the internet  or scowl at them in  his  vampire lair while wearing Ayn Rand pajamas.
It should be noted that  Thiel  is currently on the board of Facebook  a company with an absurd amount of influence over what media the world consumes. So  overall  not a great day for the press.
We should all donate money so someone can revive Valleywag and only write about  Peter Thiel . â Julia ð Alexander (@loudmouthjulia) January 11  2018
I think it's time to explore the idea that  Peter Thiel  is actually a stupid person with bad ideas and also is highly reflective of Silicon Valley culture. Having money doesn't make you smart. The ability to make money doesn't either. â Joshua Topolsky (@joshuatopolsky) January 11  2018
There's no guarantee he'll win the bid or be able to clear the legal challenges involved  so there's still hope that  Thiel  goes home empty-handed.
answer:

Negative
