PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Jackson is Neutral . Michael Jackson's mother sued a concert promoter Wednesday alleging the company failed to provide life-saving equipment and oversee a doctor who was hired to protect the pop star's well-being as he prepared for what were intended to be his comeback concerts.
 The suit contends AEG and its agents told Jackson the company would provide the equipment and hire Dr. Conrad Murray to care for Jackson so he could perform at the concerts in London.
 "AEG's representations to Jackson were false because in reality AEG was merely doing whatever it took to make sure that Michael Jackson could make it to rehearsals and shows and AEG did not provide a doctor who was truly looking out for Jackson's well-being and did not provide equipment " the lawsuit states.
 AEG Live President and CEO Randy Phillips said soon after Jackson's death in June 2009 that Murray was enlisted to act as Jackson's personal physician and was to be paid $150 000 a month by AEG Live as the singer prepared for the concerts.
 However  Jackson died before signing the agreement. As a result  Phillips said the agreement was not binding.
 The suit also said AEG Live was responsible for the actions of Murray in the care of Jackson. Murray  however  was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
 "At the time of his death  Michael Jackson was under the immediate care of a doctor selected by  hired by  and controlled by AEG; indeed AEG demanded and required that Michael Jackson be treated by this particular doctor to ensure that Michael Jackson would attend all rehearsals and shows on the tour " the complaint states.
 Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death at age 50. Police said Murray gave Jackson an overdose of the anesthetic propofol.
 The suit claims Jackson's eldest son  Prince  suffered great trauma and severe emotional distress because he witnessed his father's final moments.
 Despite years of self-imposed exile  he retained a huge  loyal following of fans overjoyed at the prospect of seeing him reclaim the glory he'd attained with albums like "Thriller" and songs like "Beat It!" and "Billie Jean."

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Laura Moser is Positive . Laura Moser  a candidate in a Democratic congressional primary in Texas . (Michael Stravato for The Washington Post)
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is taking fire from the left after months of relative peace  thanks to a document put online the night of Feb. 22 â a collection of opposition research on  Laura Moser   a progressive candidate in Texasâs competitive 7th Congressional District.
As  Moser  was attending a campaign event  the DCCC posted a short but brutal collection of hits on  Moser  that would be likely used against  her  if  she  won the Democratic nomination. The 7th District is one of 23 where Hillary Clinton outpolled Donald Trump in 2016  while voters sent a Republican congressman to Washington.
âDemocratic voters need to hear that  Laura Moser  is not going to change Washington â the committee wrote. â She  is a Washington insider  who begrudgingly moved to Houston to run for Congress.â
 Moser  responded later Thursday night  saying in a statement that the DCCCâs tactics represented âwhy people hate politicsâ and hurt the effort to take Congress back from Republicans.
âWeâre used to tough talk here in Texas  but itâs disappointing to hear it from Washington operatives â  she  said.
 Moser  did relocate to  her  native Houston last year and began running for Congress  with  her  move back home â after launching Daily Action  a campaign tool for progressives frustrated by Trump â as part of the story. The DCCC  which has seen plenty of candidates brought down by residence issues  came to view  her  as unelectable.
âVoters in Houston have organized for over a year to hold [Republican Rep. John Abney] Culberson accountable and win this Clinton district â said DCCC communications director Meredith Kelly. âUnfortunately   Laura Moserâs  outright disgust for life in Texas disqualifies  her  as a general election candidate and would rob voters of their opportunity to flip Texasâs 7th in November.â
The DCCCâs memo hit  Moser  for paying Revolution Messaging  the firm where  her  husband  Arun Chaudhary  had worked since 2012  to produce  her  TV ads. But its main attack lines were backed up by an article  Moser  wrote for Washingtonian in 2014  where  she  joked that  she âd âsooner have my teeth pulled out without anesthesiaâ than move to  her  grandparentsâ home in Paris  Tex. Paris is a small city more than 300 miles from the 7th District; the DCCC warned that voters would not process the nuance.
Both  Moser âs campaign and the DCCC saw  her  in a strong position to win one of two runoff slots in the March 6 Democratic primary. With early voting underway  and Democratic turnout in Houstonâs Harris County undergoing a historic surge  the DCCC pounced.
But the way it did so  advertising what Republicans might use to beat  Moser   sparked outrage across the left. At Daily Kos  a popular group blog that crowdfunds for Democratic candidates  a diarist wondered whether the move against  Moser  âmay have something to do with the candidate selection role the Blue Dog Coalition is playing at the DCCC.â The People for Bernie Sanders  a progressive group organized to support the Vermont senatorâs 2016 presidential campaign  called âfor the DCCC board to investigate how the decision was reached and publish the findings publicly.â There was an additional factor: Revolution Messaging had worked for Sanders  and Chaudhary had worked as the campaignâs photographer.
 Moser  is not the only progressive candidate in the district primary  and several of  her  rivals back universal Medicare  which has become a litmus test on the left. But  her  race has attracted national attention as an example of progressive candidates bristling as well-established Democratic organizations backed their rivals. On Thursday morning  the Intercept  which has been publishing articles on how the DCCC works  highlighted  Moser âs race and the involvement of Emilyâs List with party donor Lizzie Pannill Fletcher.
