PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sarah Huckabee Sanders is Neutral . Sarah Huckabee Sanders  lied about baking a chocolate pecan pie for Thanksgiving. The White House press secretary further ruined the national holiday by humiliating the press corps by asking them why they are grateful. While none of this is true   attacking Sanders  personally has become the media’s latest and lowest method of attacking President Trump.
“Piegate” started after  Sanders  shared a picture on Thursday of a chocolate pecan pie with the caption   “I dont cook much these days  but managed this Chocolate Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving at the family farm!” April Ryan  the American Urban Radio Networks correspondent and a CNN political analyst  tweeted at  Sanders  the next day: “Show it to us on a table.” She then added  “I am not trying to be funny but folks are already saying #piegate and #fakepie Show it to us on the table with folks eating it and a pic of you cooking it.” Ryan’s insinuation that  Sanders  used a stock photo launched a viral debate involving every nook and cranny of the crust and glazed pecan top of the pie.
 Sanders  responded to the second tweet with grace: “Don’t worry @AprilDRyan because I’m nice I’ll bake one for  you  next week ;-) #RealPie #FakeNews.”
Ryan’s fake news was so influential that other liberal media kept the rolling pin going. On Saturday  MSNBC’s Joy Reid  said she “cannot verify whether or not  Sanders  baked that pie.” Did anyone at MSNBC call the White House and ask? Fox News’s Todd Stearns did  and  Sanders  told him  “Of course I made the pie.” She added that  “I make it for every holiday family gathering and have for years.”
 Sanders  was also attacked for asking reporters  in a pre-Thanksgiving briefing  to state what they were thankful for before asking their questions.  Sanders  started by saying she was thankful for  among other things  the people in the room  her faith and family. Reporters almost all responded in kind  which gave the usually antagonistic briefing room a kinder atmosphere.
 Sanders  is a practicing Christian  who prays before she does the daily briefing  so one would think she would be given the benefit of the doubt in understanding this as a good-will effort to transcend partisanship.
Piling on  his colleague Kathleen Parker said  Sanders ’s request was “candy-coating her usual condescension with faux fellowship.” Parker used the rest of her column to criticize every aspect of  Sanders ’s professional skills and recommended that she be replaced with — naturally — a journalist.
The Thanksgiving nastiness wasn’t even the lowest the media sank in its attacks on  Sanders .
Earlier this month  Los Angeles Times writer David Horsey began his piece: “ Sarah Huckabee Sanders  does not look like the kind of woman Donald Trump would choose as  his  chief spokesperson.”  He  went on to say  she  “looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids’ games.”
The backlash to this piece  especially the reference to  Sanders ’s weight  was so swift that the Times deleted all of it from the column and added an apology from the author. This is not standard procedure in newspapers. The as-written text normally stays in the piece  unless factually incorrect. There’s no way the Times did this because it cares about Trump supporters. It cares about female readership. And we don’t like men judging our weight and appearance at work.
The media hostility toward  Sanders  really has nothing to do with her but stems from its barely concealed hatred for Trump. So they want a Trump spokesperson to perform badly. But  Sanders  is effective in the way she does not give an inch in defense of the president  while keeping her cool and appearing unfazed. That means she gives the media few sound bites to nourish liberal cable shows and late-night television. She ducks and dodges when needed  which is part of the job.
 Sanders  has thick skin and a strong faith. None of these personal attacks appear to get to her  no matter how low and mean. She knows her purpose is to defend and promote the policies of the president and the administration. At some point  the elite pundit class in the media will realize that in attacking  Sanders   they are the ones who end up looking bad.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Grassley is Neutral . ACORN's tax-exempt groups and allied organizations  long a target of conservative ire  used more than half their charitable and public money in 2006 to pay other ACORN affiliates  according to an analysis by the tax staff of Sen. Charles Grassley  R-Iowa.
 On Thursday  Grassley called the transactions a "big shell game" and said ACORN donors may be surprised by how the liberal group known for helping the poor obtain housing and health care was spending their money. He urged the Internal Revenue Service to take a closer look.
 According to the Grassley report  charities "are being used to raise monies which are then funneled to other charities or to other organizations for purposes other than what the donor may have intended. ... Dollars raised for charitable (purposes) appear to be used for impermissible lobbing and political activity."
 "Senator Grassley made up his mind  and he didn't bother about the facts " Lewis said in an interview. "He's dealing with a lot of outdated information and decided to frame it with a predetermined conclusion. Yes  we had problems under Wade Rathke. ... And we have been overhauling how we do things ever since."
 Also on Thursday  Grassley requested that ACORN  which stands for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now  be taken off a list of approved charities for federal employees to donate to in an annual giving campaign.

SOLUTION: no
