question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ted Cruz is Negative . Cruz 's fans say it 's because he stands on principle . 
In the three years since he arrived in the U.S. Senate , Ted Cruz has become easily the most hated man in Washington -- a fact he 's now using to his advantage as a presidential candidate . 
Is it true , as Cruz would have it , that the dreaded GOP establishment pays lip service to shrinking the federal government and repealing Obamacare , but actually would prefer to preserve the status quo ? 
Or do Cruz 's Beltway critics have a point ? 
Cruz has n't hesitated to take polarizing stances , even when doing so means taking on his Republican colleagues . 
Lee is also Cruz 's best friend -- maybe his only friend -- in the Senate . 
In his memoir , Cruz writes that no one stood by him "more courageously or indispensably" than Lee during his 21-hour anti-Obamacare speech that preceded the 2013 government shutdown . 
When Lee brought up his bill in the committee hearing , he was n't sure if he 'd have Cruz 's support . 
Cruz attacked the bill as dangerous and politically poisonous . 
Cruz went on to warn his fellow senators that if they voted for the bill , they would imperil their careers . 
Essentially , Cruz was saying that the legislation would let dangerous people out of prison , they would commit more crimes , and the senators would be subject to Willie Horton-style attack ads . 
Lee , who was sitting right next to Cruz , could not believe what he was hearing . 
Lee 's communications director , Conn Carroll , confirmed to me that Lee and his staff had no advance warning that Cruz was planning to brutally attack -- and , in Lee 's view , misrepresent -- his friend 's bill . 
The bill made it out of committee that day , but now it appears to be in trouble , with several other Republican senators taking Cruz 's line against it at a Senate lunch last week . 
Today , Lee has conspicuously joined every other sitting senator in declining to endorse Cruz 's presidential run . 
And while Lee and Cruz are still friends , the episode vividly illustrates Cruz 's talent for irritating other senators . 
Another telling episode came during the 2013 government shutdown , which Cruz spearheaded , insisting that if Congress defunded Obamacare , the president might go along . 
As McKay Coppins reports in his new book , The Wilderness , Cruz 's own staff never actually expected the gambit to work . 
To Cruz 's colleagues , it was a pointless and damaging exercise , but grassroots conservative groups cheered the effort . 
Cruz is close to the Fund and has appeared in its ads . 
At a private lunch of Republican senators , New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte waved the document in Cruz 's face and demanded that he disavow it . 
When he declined , several other senators , including then-Minority Leader Mitch McConnell , took Ayotte 's side and denounced Cruz . 
In my conversations with Republican policy types and Senate aides about Cruz , this lack of regard for his colleagues , and for the niceties that have traditionally governed the upper chamber , was a common theme . 
As Trent Lott , the former Senate majority leader , told me last week , referring to the time Cruz called McConnell a liar on the Senate floor : "You just do n't do that . 
Another criticism of Cruz is that his antics are disruptive and damaging to the Republican Party . 
Cruz does have policy differences with the business wing of the party : Unlike the Chamber , he opposes comprehensive immigration reform , would like to kill the Export-Import Bank , and -LRB- in a reversal -RRB- opposed a recent free-trade bill . 
In Iowa , Cruz has been subjected to millions of dollars in attack ads and personally criticized by the Republican governor , Terry Branstad , for opposing ethanol subsidies . 
But a Republican policy expert close to a number of top GOP operatives and donors insisted it 's not about Cruz 's style or his positions . 
But the effort does n't result in smaller government or the end of Obamacare -- all it achieves is drawing attention to Cruz . 
You can see how these complaints look from the perspective of Cruz and his fans : like features , not bugs . 
But what about the criticism that Cruz 's efforts have n't gotten any results ? 
The Cruz camp did n't reply to my query , so I put the question to Amanda Carpenter , who was Cruz 's communications director during much of his time in the Senate , including the shutdown . 
Carpenter said Cruz had sent a message . 
Cruz has shown that one person can make a difference ." 
But as they see it , the difference Cruz has made in the Senate has not been a positive one .
answer:
yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Maulana Masood Azhar is Neutral . FILE PHOTO:  Maulana Masood Azhar   head of Pakistan's militant Jaish-e-Mohammad party  attends a pro-Taliban conference organised by the Afghan Defence Council in Islamabad August 26  2001.
India  backed by the United States  has been trying to get  Maulana Masood Azhar  on a U.N. list of groups with ties to Al Qaeda  blaming his group for a series of attacks in India  including one on its parliament in 2002 and another last year on an airbase.
It said it interrogated  Azhar  and  his  associates in the Jaish-e-Mohammad group after the January 2016 attack on the Pathankot air base but found no evidence linking  him  to it.
 Hua  said there were clear rules for listing a person or group as a terrorist  and that China has always believed the relevant U.N. committee should operate on the principles of objectivity  fairness and professionalism on this matter.
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rex Ryan Monday is Neutral . FOXBOROUGH  Mass. - In one sentence  Rex Ryan managed to compliment and challenge Bill Belichick at the same time.
 The achievement is no surprise  considering the New York Jets coach can create headlines just by speaking. While his most recent comments about Belichick may have raised some eyebrows  they didn't shock the Patriots coach.
 Last year  Ryan said he didn't plan to kiss Belichick's rings  and Newsday's Bob Glauber asked Ryan Monday if he had backed off since making the statement last year. Ryan gave an honest response.
 "I just told the truth " Ryan said. "I came here to win. As much as I respect and admire Bill Belichick  I came here to kick his ass  and that's the truth. That's just the way it is."
 The coaches may have different approaches  but they continue to publicly praise each other. While Ryan is focused on beating Belichick  he went on to talk about his respect for Belichick.
 "I came here to beat him  and I'm never going to backtrack on that " Ryan said. "I do respect him and all that  absolutely. But he's the one to beat.
 "I recognize that he's the best coach in football  and he still is. But that doesn't mean I'm not going to try to go beat him  because you're darn right I'm trying to beat him  without question. He's going to get my best."
 Belichick also had praise for what Ryan has accomplished.
 "I think he's an excellent coach " Belichick said. "He did a great job at Baltimore  whether it says defensive line coach or defensive coordinator down there.
 "He's doing the same thing with the Jets. Took them to the AFC Championship game last year. Got a great record this year.
 "So he's a good football coach. His teams play hard. They're obviously well-coached. They handle pressure. They play with a lot of confidence. He's done an excellent job."
answer:

no
