question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Billy Bush is Neutral . Billy Bush  is opened up about Matt Lauer's firing and rebuilding  his  life after the fiasco that led to  his  own ouster from the "Today" show in 2016.
 Bush  said  he 's been in touch with  his  former "Today" colleguage Lauer  who was fired by the show after numerous allegations of sexual misconduct in November 2017.
â He  texted me and asked about some of the self-help books Iâve been reading â  Bush  told People magazine. âI told  him   âStart here.â â
 He  said though  he  had a tumultuous relationship with Lauer   he  wasn't happy to see the anchor's scandal unfold.
âMaybe at one point there was part of  me  that [felt like] if someone else got [in trouble]  I would be like  âNow whoâs the bad guy?â â  Bush  said. âBut I took zero pleasure in it. And Iâm grateful for that. Let those who transgressed be held accountable. I felt for the women involved and for his wife.â
The TV personality told People magazine he was displeased with Lauer back in 2016  when "Today" fired  Bush .
On Oct. 7  2016   Bush  was heard on a years-old "Access Hollywood" recording with Trump discussing women in a lewd manner.
"In one of my resolute moments  I said if I ever speak to [Lauer]  Iâm going to tell  him  that I was let down. Many months later   he  called me and I addressed it.  He  assured me that  he  [fought for me] in private. I accepted it.â
"I have done so much self-help work. There is a term for what I did. Itâs called bystander abuse. It says by not doing anything you are endorsing the moment. I have to live with that " said  Bush .
Additionally  the former broadcaster says  he  would never want  his  daughters treated in a degrading manner.
"I have three daughters. They are going to be in the workplace one day. I want them to be paid equally  I want them to be treated well and when they walk out of a room I donât want to ever hear anyone talking behind their back in a degrading way " explained  Bush .
Although   he  has gone through a difficult 15 months  Bush  claims  he  has learned a great deal.
"I had some growing up to do anyway in life " said  Bush . "I did so much exploring and figuring out. Iâm a deeper person. And Iâm happy about using my knowledge for a good purpose.â

question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Amy Webb is Positive . 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
