PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Johnny Weir is Neutral . Listen to the music: “The Tara and Johnny Show” is a hoot  though — fair or not — the interplay of NBC figure skating commentators Tara Lipinski and  Johnny Weir  has lost some of its authentic feel as it has been appropriated by Google for ads.
But watching the ice dancing coverage with Tanith White in their analyst role opposite announcer Terry Gannon  perhaps you heard something you don’t always get from Lipinski and  Weir : the music accompanying the skaters.
With women’s figure skating — and more Tara and Johnny — Lipinski and  Weir  presumably will continue to bring the critical eye  candor and enthusiasm they so deftly applied to this point.
Anticipating and/or pointing out something that’s notable  impressive or disastrous as it occurs is fine. Lipinski and  Weir  sometimes announce their presence as much as the event they’re ostensibly covering.
Till then  it’s OK for Lipinski and  Weir  to let the performances speak for themselves a bit. Plenty of time to dish and dig into it later.
But just you wait: Scott Hamilton is too good a figure skating analyst not to have more of a presence  though clearly Lipinski and  Weir  don’t leave much room for more voices on a telecast.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Richard Burr is Positive .

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-S.C.)  said "we have not come to any final conclusions" about the Russia investigation on Oct. 4  but that they are still looking into the Mayflower meeting  former president Barack Obama's response to Russian hacking  the Intelligence Community Assessment and the drafting of the RNC's platform. (Reuters)
âThere is consensus among members and staff that we trust the conclusions of the ICA â Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.)  the committeeâs chairman  said at Wednesday news conference  referring to the intelligence communityâs assessment that Russia was behind hackings of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign director John Podestaâs email account and had attempted to exploit public opinion by sowing false information  much of it through fake social media accounts.
âBut we donât close our consideration of it â  he  added.
 Burr  also said that âthe issue of collusion is still openâ and would not be resolved until the committeeâs work was done.  He  said that a deadline for the committee was the looming start of the 2018 primary season.
âWeâve got to make our facts  as it related to Russiaâs involvement in our election  before the primaries getting started in 2018 â  Burr  said.

 Burr  and Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.)  the committeeâs vice chairman  said the committee has interviewed more than 100 people and reviewed more than 100 000 documents  many of them from the intelligence community  President Trumpâs inner circle and former members of the Obama administration. In some areas of the investigation   Burr  added  investigators had âexhausted every individualâ they could speak with in several areas of the probe â such as an April 2016 meeting at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington.
 Burr  said the committee had interviewed seven people about that meeting and that âthe testimony of all seven were consistent.â
 He  said the committee had also âinterviewed every personâ that was involved in drafting the Republican campaign platform  suggesting that investigators had found no evidence of nefarious activity by Trump campaign officials in fashioning that platform to support a âstrong ally in Ukraine  but also leave the door open for better relations with Russia.â
 Burr  also told reporters that the committee had âhit a wallâ in attempting to verify the details of a salacious dossier about Trumpâs alleged exploits in Russia  mostly because its author  former British spy Christopher Steele  had rebuffed the committeeâs efforts to speak with him about his sources and about who paid for the compilation of the report.
âI can compel you to come â  Burr  said  as a warning to any potential witnesses who might not want to comply with the committeeâs investigation. But  Burr  later said that  he  had no such leverage over Steele  a British citizen  and could only threaten that the committeeâs report âwonât be flatteringâ as it relates to  him  if  he  refuses to cooperate.
The committee has also scheduled an additional 25 interviews for this month   Burr  added. Google executives  who have also been invited to testify publicly before the committee on Nov. 1  are expected to be among those asked to attend the closed-door interviews that have been scheduled in October.

 Burr  added that the committee would not release the content of those ads  though  he  added that the committee would be âfineâ with any of the social media companies choosing to release the content of documents and other information they had turned over to the committee themselves.
