PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Cohen is Positive . "In a private transaction in 2016  I used my own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130 000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford "  Michael Cohen  said in a statement. "Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford  and neither reimbursed me for the payment  either directly or indirectly."
Just weeks before the 2016 election   Cohen  reportedly created a private LLC to pay Clifford  otherwise known as Stormy Daniels  following an alleged July 2006 encounter with Trump  The Wall Street Journal reported in January
Following initial reports last month that  Cohen  had made the payment   he  said in a statement that Trump "vehemently denies" any encounter between the two.
In January   the organization Common Cause filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission and the Justice Department  alleging that the reported payment to Clifford constituted a campaign finance violation. But on Tuesday   Cohen 's statement denied that accusation and said the monetary exchange was "lawful" and "not a campaign contribution."
"The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful  and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone "  Cohen  said.
 Cohen  also said  he  filed a reply with the FEC  but that filing will not be public until the agency has resolved the matter.
When asked why  he  made the payment   Cohen  told CNN: "Just because something isn't true doesn't mean that it can't cause you harm or damage. I will always protect Mr. Trump."

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hershey is Neutral . Higher prices and lower charges sparked a profit increase for Hershey Co. as the nation's second-biggest candy maker continued to push its brands to cost-conscious consumers and gain market share.
 The company also maintained its 2010 adjusted earnings and sales forecasts while boosting its quarterly dividend. The news sent Hershey's stock up 19 cents to $37 in premarket trading.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Anna Walentynowicz is Negative . Walentynowicz was an anti-communist dissident who worked with Solidarity founder Lech Walesa in the early 1980s to agitate against repressive communist rule. She was close to President Lech Kaczynski  also killed in the Saturday crash. Many others aboard the plane were also their ideological brethren.
 Walentynowicz was the most famous Solidarity activist aboard  an iconic figure more closely associated with the 1980 strikes than anyone save Walesa. She had sometimes been referred to as the Rosa Parks of Poland -- a nod to the American woman who was the public face of the American civil rights movement.
 A 51-year-old widow and crane operator in 1980  Walentynowicz was only five months away from retirement when her shipyard bosses fired her for producing and distributing a newspaper critical of the regime. She had handed some copies directly to her bosses.
 Her fellow workers were outraged at the injustice of her firing and agitated to have her reinstated  resistance that led to strikes and sit-ins at the Gdansk shipyard and in factories across the country.
 "I was the drop that caused the cup of bitterness to overflow " she once said  according to the weekly magazine Przekroj.
 "Anna had been at the center of the events that birthed Solidarity  and along with Lech Walesa she virtually personified the 1980 strikes in the public eye " writes author Shana Penn in "Solidarity's Secret: The Women Who Defeated Communism in Poland."
Walentynowicz were allowed to return to work.
 But it didn't take long for Walentynowicz and the other female activists to be sidelined by Walesa and the other male organizers.
 Walentynowicz was born August 13  1929  and was 10 years old when Nazi Germany and then the Soviet Union invaded and occupied the country. Her father was killed in the war and sheshe herself fell victim to a Nazi decree that prevented Poles from continuing their education after the fourth grade -- part of an effort by the Nazis to enslave Poles.
 She was initially attracted to communism and belonged to the party but eventually became disillusioned with their "lies and manipulation of the workers " Penn said. "She wasn't afraid to expose hypocrites."
 When Walentynowicz began her activism at the shipyard she was already widowed and had survived a near-fatal bout of cancer. Her unlikely survival from the illness left her with a sense that she had survived to carry out something worthwhile.
 "It took someone like her unafraid of authority to tackle the Communist authorities of the day " said Victor Ashe  a former U.S. ambassador to Poland who said he was honored to have the silver-haired Walentynowicz as a guest as his Warsaw residence on a number of occasions. "She was an amazing person who continued to express her views actively and directly."
