What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rachel Maddow ? MSNBC star Rachel Maddowâs latest anti-Trump conspiracy theory was so outlandish that even the dependably liberal HuffPost criticized it as "so flimsy that it could be debunked by a quick glance at a map."
On Thursday evening  "The Rachel Maddow Show" opened with a somber 25-minute diatribe that attempted to connect the tragic ambush attack that killed four American soldiers in Niger to the latest version of President Trumpâs proposed travel ban  which included the nation of Chad.  Maddow  essentially claimed that the inclusion of Chad  which recently pulled  its  troops out of Niger  in the revised travel ban resulted in extremist attacks such as the one that left four Americans dead.
The HuffPost  which is so anti-Trump that it refused to even cover him in the political section during the early stages of his campaign  published a story headlined  "What the hell was this  Rachel Maddow  segment?" The MSNBC host proclaimed that Chadâs pullout from Niger "had an immediate effect in emboldening ISIS attacks " but the HuffPost easily shot down her theory.
Colby College Department of Government assistant professor Laura Seay told the HuffPost that "any expert" would have said  Maddow 's conspiracy theory was "crazy" and the pullout of Chadian troops isnât necessarily related to the Trumpâs travel ban.
"Everybody that I know is appalled by this. I would like to think that  Maddow 's researchers are more responsible " Seay told the HuffPost.
"The Rachel Maddow Show" declined to comment to HuffPost but the host addressed the situation on Friday nightâs episode.
"Over the course of the day today  lots of people have been very upset with me for reporting that last night  which is fine. I didnât know you cared. But the upset over my reporting doesnât mean that anything I reported wasnât true "  Maddow  said. "Everything I reported was true."
 Maddow  continued: "Now  this doesnât mean that Chad withdrawing their troops was necessarily the cause of what happened to those U.S. troops who were ambushed. That ambush is being described by the Pentagon as a shock."
The HuffPostâs Willa Frej wrote that  Maddow  built "myths" using unrelated or unreliable information and "reduced the story so thoroughly that it lost any semblance of the larger truth."
 Maddow  has seen increased viewership as the triggered left tunes in to watch  her  condemn Trump on a nightly basis  butit seems the MSNBC host this time went too far for one of the most liberal publications in America.

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Zack ? year - old autistic son overcome his intense fear of indoor spaces might not have been right or even safe . Doctors didn ’ t recommend it . The people who witnessed it were appalled   understandably . I don ’ t suggest this for others . I could have been more patient with conventional methods   but I wasn ’ t . I am not certified in restraining children   though doctors say anyone attempting what I did should be . They would also recommend a much slower approach . I am writing this because I hope to educate people about the burden families face when their autistic children have tantrums in public spaces   so next time you witness such a struggle you don ’ t immediately resort to blaming the parents . I ’ m also reaching out to fellow parents in pain to remind them to cast off shame   because I believe nothing is more important than getting your autistic children out into the world . It was a desperate time . Nothing else had worked for Zack — flashcards   photos   play therapy . gradual exposure to feared indoor spaces . That is how   very much against his will   I ended up physically dragging Zack into Verizon Center ( now Capital One Arena ) one day 10 years ago to see his favorite character   Elmo   perform as part of a “ Sesame Street Live !” show . There is nothing anyone could have said that would have convinced me my son was anything other than precious and worthy of the extreme measures I intended to take to save him from a life entrapped by autistic phobias . My mind - set that day : If I can get him through this without either of us getting physically hurt   his fear of this place will be behind him for good . He will reset his association with this arena   and it will no longer be frightening . I believe this deeply   but getting him over the hurdle is terrifying . [‘ I have this thing called autism ’: A boy ’ s eloquent message to his fourth - grade classmates ] We enter Verizon Center   and the moment the exterior door closes behind us    Zack  reels back and plunges toward it   trying frantically to get back outside . At 50 pounds    his  furious strength is a troubling match for mine .  He  is a thoroughbred of resistance . My usually buoyant child is slamming  his  fists and clawing at the metal door ’ s push bar . I quickly seize  him  by the shoulders and pry  his  fingers from the bar as  he  jerks  his  head back in a sudden motion .  His  skull smashes into my chin   and I taste the metallic taint of my own blood . I give up trying to pry  his  fingers away   wrap both arms tightly around  his  torso and yank  him  back fiercely . We both tumble to the floor .  Zack  momentarily escapes my grip and scrambles back toward the door   but I leap on top of  him    pinning  his  entire body flat to the ground . We are still in the vestibule . This was a mistake   too ambitious   I think to myself . Everything is happening too quickly . Breathlessly   I pivot myself to secure Zack ’ s entire body between my thighs as I clamp down tightly and interlock my feet to prevent him from breaking free . Zack is shrieking at an alarmingly high pitch   but I keep heaving and dragging us both   inch by dreadful inch   closer to the show ’ s main entrance area   which we are separated from by a red curtain . I can hear voices around us . Your kid obviously doesn ’ t want to go to the show !” An icy shock sprints down my back   and I reflexively arch and look around wildly . Someone has just thrown their soda at me . No   I ’ m not giving up . Suddenly   I feel an imaginary cloak descend and slowly envelop me . These are the moments I ’ ve been dreading   but also building toward   and I don this invisible armor   now impervious to ridicule because I don ’ t care what anyone thinks . My singular focus is getting  Zack  where  he  needs to be : inside the main area   looking at Elmo . The show has already begun inside   and I know Elmo is on the stage . Okay   get in his head now   talk back to his thoughts . “  Zack    you are doing it ! I know you ’ re afraid   but all you have to do is stay here   you ’ re already doing it   you ’ ve already won . Just stay and watch   sit and watch   that ’ s it . You ’ re doing it . You did it !” A simple and repetitive mantra to penetrate the panic and break through the force field . In a now recovered and controlled voice   I loudly announce   “ My son has autism and he ’ s terrified . I ’ m working with him to get his fears under control .” A manager strides toward us   summoned to calm the explosive scene . “ Miss   I ’ m afraid this is too disruptive to the other patrons to let this continue   you ’ ll have to leave .” No response . “ Miss   you are creating a public disturbance   and I need to escort you and your child out of the auditorium right now .” “ No  ” I respond calmly without looking up . “ I ’ m not going anywhere . I ’ m a paying customer too   and I have a right to be here   and so does my autistic son .” Suddenly   from the far reaches of my mind   the legal jargon jettisons to the surface . What was that ADA language about the right of disabled people to access public facilities ? That they have a right not be discriminated against because of their disability   a right to reasonable accommodations to access public venues . My son is not legally required to enter the auditorium quietly . He ’ s allowed to enter on his own disabled terms . I am his reasonable accommodation .  Zack  will ride in on me . Okay   one more push forward with  Zack  squeezed between my legs   and that curtain that separates the hallway where we are and the seated auditorium is within arm ’ s reach . Once the curtain is pulled back    he  will see all the children in their seats   and  he  will see Elmo on the stage . But I am on the floor and I can ’ t reach the curtain . I quickly gesture with my hand to the woman guarding the entrance to please pull back that curtain so my son can finally see inside and glimpse the purpose behind the long   bitter altercation . I need her to act quickly . She tries a few times to reach my son with chirpy words that fall on deaf ears . “ LADY   he ’ s got AUTISM   please just pull back the curtain !” I hiss . She wordlessly pulls back the plush red velvet in a single swoop to reveal a bright - red   singing caricature on a large stage   clearly visible even from our long distance . I quickly point  Zack  in  his  direction and exclaim   “ There ’ s ELMO ! Look    Zack    it ’ s Elmo !” Zack ’ s eyes catch hold of Elmo   and suddenly he ’ s too stunned to scream or speak   his hysteria abruptly interrupted by the sight of a familiar friend . Transfixed by the furry creature    Zack  sits still and stares intently . I quickly move to slide  him  further along the floor   closer to the cushioned seats . The rigidness in Zack ’ s body gives way as  he  relaxes   a literal crossover to the other side .  Zack  is as smooth and malleable as liquid as  he  sits upright   almost unaware of  his  own physical existence and wholly locked in on Elmo . I calmly walk  him  to  his  seat . The past and future are of no consequence ; for  him    there is only the present . As I gaze around the auditorium    Zack  is indistinguishable from  his  peers . In these precious moments I can savor the reality that  Zack  has succeeded in the greatest challenge of  his  life — overriding  his  intense phobia of indoor spaces — long enough to access something beloved . It took 36 minutes and 45 seconds . And   yes   it was worth it . [‘ I ’ m more awesomer ’: How kids with facial differences are reacting to the movie ‘ Wonder ’] It was the first in a series of exposures to crowded public places for  Zack  and me .  His  transition at the Verizon Center allowed  him  to enjoy the Elmo show   and also return repeatedly to that auditorium without fear   because  he  replaced  his  previous negative association with a positive one . For  Zack    the gradual exposure approach was not effective . What worked for  him  was a single   traumatic episode in which  he  could grasp the purpose of the exposure and feel good about it . I spoke with  his  doctor afterward   and  he  confirmed that by refusing to allow Zack to escape the place  he  feared   I broke the pattern of negative reinforcement and allowed  him  to “ reset the record .” I also learned that   as a last resort   in a controlled way and only after years of therapy   a licensed behavioral clinician might have physically restrained  Zack  to force  him  to confront  his  fears   had  he  not responded to more gradual methods . In the past   when I ’ d retreated home with  him  during a tantrum   I was unintentionally reinforcing  his  phobia . But the doctor made it clear to  me  he would not recommend this method for any child unless all other methods had been exhausted   and the child was able to handle it without causing harm to himself or others . For us   the Elmo success paved the way for outings to other indoor places he feared — Disney World   movie theaters   airplanes   the Baltimore Aquarium . Each exposure required less time for him to acclimate . We found that while  Zack  was initially confused and frightened    he  always adjusted . Over time    he  became less fearful of all indoor places .  He  also gained self - esteem once  he  realized  he  was conquering  his  fears and accessing more of the world . And in possibly  his  biggest win    his  overall demeanor became as calm and predictable as  his  perception of life itself . Ellenby is a lawyer   writer and mother based in Montgomery County .

What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bernie Sanders ? The same early juncture in the election cycle is now facing Clinton's primary challenger  Bernie Sanders  a candidate who in 2015 launched his campaign in the span of a couple months and is considered a frontrunner in the next election. The 75-year-old Vermont senator  current and former aides said in recent interviews  has the chance to build a formidable organization with the kind of infrastructure his first campaign lacked.
Earlier this month  he returned to the key caucus state of Iowa for the first time since the election to speak to a 1 100 progressive activists in Des Moines. At a daylong conference  Revolution Iowa  organizers and volunteers from the 2016 campaign reunited over boxes lunches and at workshops like “The Fight for Our Lives: Medicare for All!”  Sanders  is scheduled to make a second trip to the state in late August to promote  his  new book.
Around  Sanders   former aides and advisers point to other signs of activity.
On the Democratic National Committee’s Unity Commission  a group created by the  Sanders  and Clinton campaigns to review the fairness of the nominating process  the senator’s allies  led by former campaign manager Jeff Weaver  have eyed changes to superdelegates  open primaries  and the voting calendar that could benefit  Sanders . (Weaver  disputing that idea  said the commission is focused on changes that would help non-leading  lesser-known candidates “get a fair hearing and maybe win.”  Sanders    he  noted  “would enter as a leading candidate  if not the frontrunner.”)
“Many of us are out here waiting for a signal from him ” said Longabaugh  who  along with Tad Devine  another top adviser  put together the early blueprint for the  Sanders  campaign in spring 2015. “My sense is that's sort of where Sanders Nation is.”
 Sanders  unquestionably built  his  “political revolution” on the strength of  his  message  not the kind of calculated mechanics that laid the foundation for the Clinton operation in Brooklyn. Still  some backers said  the campaign also suffered from basic structural and tactical work that  the senator  not only came late to  but at points actively resisted.
The nuts-and-bolts planning for a  Sanders  campaign began in March 2015  shortly before  his  April 30 announcement. In 2014  the liberal radio host Bill Press had hosted  Sanders  at  his  Washington home to talk over the decision to run with Senate staffers  senior Democrats  and strategists  along with “wise guys and gals who pontificated a lot ” recalled Longabaugh. “Helpful for  Bernie  and [ his  wife] Jane to hear — but it was not planning.”
Less than four months into the race  in August 2015  senior advisers sat down with  Sanders  and  his  wife in Burlington to address the issue in blunt terms: If they wanted to compete  they needed a more serious operation — a campaign with proper infrastructure and a more robust travel schedule  even if it meant missing votes in the Senate  they told  him   according to a person briefed on the conversation at the time. In short  there were basic realities about running for president that would have to be accepted.
Even after the meeting  billed publicly by advisers as “phase two” of the campaign   Sanders  struggled with that adjustment.  He  had to be convinced that TV ads were not just effective but necessary  and that using a pollster did not mean putting a finger to the wind.  He  never hired a political director.  He  didn't see the need for middle management. Basic functions like a regional press operation weren't fully in place until the primaries had started. Structurally  they never caught up to Clinton. (One former aide described the problem as the ultimate double-edged sword: “The reason that he is a compelling candidate is the same reason he can’t be elected president.”)
For now   Sanders  is reluctant to engage on the subject of what's next.
On  his  recent trip to Iowa  when shouts of "2020" rang out from the crowd   Sanders   standing onstage or moving down the ropeline  remained expressionless. The topic can be a source of irritation for the former candidate  another distraction from the message.
The 2020 speculation adds to a somewhat disjointed political moment for  Sanders :  He  is navigating new terrain under President Trump  now as a key player in defending the Affordable Care Act even as  he  amplifies activists’ calls for a single-payer system;  he  is facing a federal investigation into  his  wife’s handling of bank loans for the shuttered Burlington College; and the group that was meant to be the vessel for  his  political movement  Our Revolution  has a struggled to rack up significant electoral wins.
Weaver  the former campaign manager and a longtime adviser who remains closer to  Sanders  than most  stepped down as the head of Our Revolution on July 15 and is now serving as the central spokesman for all matters related to the FBI inquiry  which  he  dismisses as a “media feeding frenzy.” (For some  the move signaled a certain level of concern  recalling the brief but intense period in late 2015 when Weaver took over communications in the aftermath of a data breach scandal.)
If  Sanders  decides to run a second time   he  would enter the Democratic field with a national committed following seen with few other politicians.
 Sanders   it often seems  exists both among the “brothers and sisters” of  his  movement — and from the distant remove of a celebrity with an enormous and awestruck following. (This spring  taking the stage at a rally in Las Vegas   he  approached the lectern and  in one swift movement  removed  his  dark blue blazer  handed it to a woman seated on the stage behind  him   and turned back to the mic  leaving the woman  blazer in hand and mouth agape  resisting a staffer’s reach when  he  tried to retrieve the jacket.)
Even as  he ’s become a new source of influence among the party’s elite  carving out a spot on Senate leadership and traveling via private jet on a DNC-sponsored “unity” tour earlier this year   his  standing as an antiestablishment figure remains unquestioned.
