Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Sharpton is Negative . According to Michael McCarthy of the Sporting News  Hill appeared on the Sunday edition of Al Sharptonâs PoliticsNation on MSNBC  where  not surprisingly  people discuss politics. An issue that ESPN has gone to great lengths to discourage Hill  and other ESPN personalities  from addressing on âpublic-facing forums.â
Though  Hill and  Sharpton  could be engaged in a bit of political rope-a-dope.
 Sharpton  threatened to lead boycotts and protests of ESPN if the network suspended  her  for calling President Trump a âwhite supremacist.â Though itâs impossible to know  Hill may have agreed to go on  Sharpton âs show  believing that ESPN would be unlikely to fire or discipline  her  due to  Sharpton âs high-profile and ability to organize boycotts.
This explanation also makes sense considering that Hill would have had to get permission from ESPN to do the interview in the first place. Had ESPN denied Hill the ability to do the interview  then  Sharpton  would have blasted the network on  his  program and through  his  National Action Network. Given  Sharpton âs ability to agitate  ESPN could have regarded Hillâs appearance on  Sharpton âs show as  âprotected speech.â

Answer: no


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Taya Kitman is Neutral . Fish came in to work  and  Taya Kitman  a high-ranking staffer  at the time  and two other employees were in the conference room waiting for  him . They needed to prepare the 400-person seating chart for the organizationâs annual gala.  Kitman  wanted to get  it  done and pressed Fish to help  her . Fish seemed annoyed by  her  request.
Fish  who is well over 6 feet tall  approached  Kitman  from behind  put his hands around  her  neck and applied pressure  according to four people with knowledge of the incident.
One person said Fish meant it as a joke  but took it too far. He left red marks on  Kitman âs neck  the four sources said. Shaken by the encounter   Kitman  tried to downplay  it .
Board member Victor Navasky and The Nation Instituteâs lawyer at the time were briefed the following day about the incident. They told Fish to apologize  and  Kitman  didnât want to take things further.
In an email to HuffPost  Fish said: âThe incident with  Taya Kitman  did not happen as described.  Taya  has been a friend and colleague of nearly 20 years  I have the utmost regard for  her  and the work  she  had done at the institute. We were partners in building the organization and we continue to collaborate on projects that we created together. I know it sounds self-serving  but anyone who knows me knows I would never harm a woman or another person.â
 Kitman  declined to comment.
Reached by phone last week  Navasky praised Fish and insisted he didnât know anything about the alleged physical altercation between Fish and  Kitman . âI donât know what youâre talking about  so thereâs nothing to deny or not deny â he told HuffPost on Friday. âThe Nation Institute is a private thing and the trustees arenât supposed to talk about anything that happened there  and Iâm obeying their rules. But Iâm just telling you that Hamilton was a great partner for me. Period.â
 Kitman  is now executive director of the institute.
âI know that  Taya  recognized that Ham was a problem and did everything she could to get him out of there â Berman said. âThings have been much better since  Taya  took over. Sheâs respected by the staff. Sheâs respected by the fellows. Sheâs respected by the donors. Sheâs very hardworking.  Taya  is literally the exact opposite of Ham  and I mean that in the best way possible about her.â
Berman added: âWhen  Taya  took over  the office became a lot more functional and pleasant to be in.â
After this story was first published   Taya Kitman  released the following statement:
