Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Collins Collins is Positive . Terry Collins â imminent firing didnât have to get ugly  if not downright reprehensible. Really  it shouldnât have been difficult at all.
The difference was the Phillies informed Mackanin of their decision â imagine that â and asked  him  to remain in the organization as an assistant to GM Matt Klentak  an offer the ex-manager said he was happy to accept.
And Mackanin failed to so much as manage the Phillies to a winning record  never mind a World Series. He was on the job for less than three full seasons  or not even half the time  Collins  managed in New York.

So why couldnât the Mets have handled their business in a similarly classy manner  instead of keeping  Collins  in the dark about a decision that was a foregone conclusion for months  and then trashing him with anonymous front-office quotes in his final few days in the big chair.
What  they got mad when  Collins   in response to names of potential successors being leaked to the media  said he had no intention of retiring at the end of the season?
If they had given him the Mackanin treatment before the Metsâ final homestand  and offered him some type of organizational job for a couple of years  Iâm certain  Collins  would have then agreed to say it was time to step down.
After all  heâs 68 and well aware the front office has been critical of his decision-making for years  particularly his handling of pitchers. While the 2017 season was hardly  Collins â fault   his  team crippled by injuries  the Metsâ brass had every right if it felt the time had come for change.

All management had to do was communicate that to  him  at some point and then allow  him  to finish the season. The team was playing out the string anyway  and though Metsâ fans have had their issues over the years with  his  in-game strategy  surely they would have given  Collins  an ovation or two last week at Citi Field.
Even if  Collins  deserves some of the blame for what turned into a cold war of sorts this summer with the front office and ownership  perhaps in part because  he  didnât like being told  he  couldnât talk about injuries  in the end Alderson should have been bigger than that.
And  yes  Iâm aware that Fred and Jeff Wilpon have the final say  but thatâs no excuse for the GM leaving  Collins  hanging.
When I spoke with  Collins  last week   he  said  he  hadnât been told a thing about  his  future. When I asked  him  if  he  had considered going to Alderson to ask about it   he  shook  his  head.
âI shouldnât have to â  he  said.
 He âs right about that.

Answer: no


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . The attempts to curtail testimony to congressional investigators became clear this week when  former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon  appeared before the House Intelligence Committee and infuriated both sides of the aisle by refusing to answer questions about  his  work during the presidential transition and in the White House.
At some points during  Bannon 's six hours of closed-door testimony   his  attorney took breaks to confer via telephone with the White House counsel's office to clarify what questions could be answered and came back with the same guidance:  Bannon  could not discuss any activities related to the transition or  his  tenure in the White House.
 Bannon 's team negotiated ground rules with the White House counsel's office the week prior to his appearance before the House Intelligence Committee  according to a source familiar with the situation.
The President's personal legal team was aware of discussions between the White House counsel's office and  Bannon 's lawyer about protecting a possible privilege claim. But it wasn't their decision  according to a person familiar with the discussions. The protection of the privilege is a matter for the White House  not the President's legal team  because it relates to the office.
Before the hearing   Bannon 's lawyer informed a staff member of Rep. Devin Nunes  the California Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee  that  Bannon  planned to claim executive privilege on topics beyond the presidential campaign  a source said.
But that information was apparently tightly held. "It caught me personally by surprise" that  Bannon  asserted executive privilege  said Rep. Mike Conaway  the Texas Republican leading the committee's Russia investigation.
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy and Florida Rep. Tom Rooney  the other two Republicans leading the Russia probe along with Conaway  also said they weren't aware of any agreement between the White House and committee staff about the scope of  Bannon 's testimony.
"They wouldn't do that because I'd ask what I think is relevant to ask  and if you've got a legal privilege you can assert it " Gowdy said  adding that  Bannon  was in a "legally indefensible position."
As it became clear on Tuesday that  Bannon  was refusing to answer questions  the committee served  him  with a subpoena to compel  him  to divulge additional information.
But the scope of what  Bannon  was claiming was privileged shocked members from both parties.
" His  version of executive privilege is it covers the transition  the time  he  was at the White House and covers time forever " Gowdy told Fox News Wednesday. "That is no one's definition of executive privilege."
Lawmakers were also offended that  Bannon  had already divulged details about some of  his  post-campaign activities in Michael Wolff's explosive book "Fire and Fury " but then refused to discuss those events with the committee.  Bannon 's attorney also informed members that he would  in fact  answer those questions when he meets with special counsel Robert Mueller's team because executive privilege doesn't apply to Mueller's investigation.
Democrats charge that  Bannon 's appearance before the House committee marks the broadest attempt so far at using privilege to shield events that occurred from the moment Trump was elected.
Republicans haven't ruled out the possibility of holding  Bannon  in contempt  but at least one GOP member -- Gowdy -- suggested it was unlikely.
House Speaker Paul Ryan downplayed the issue of whether witnesses like  Bannon  might be abusing the bounds of executive privilege.
Still   Bannon 's stonewalling sparked a sharp warning from Conaway -- the Republican leading the House Russia probe -- to White House aides who might follow the Bannon model: "We're going to insist on getting questions we need to answer our report."

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Vladimir Putin is Positive . Obama said that  Russian President Vladimir Putin  can "slip back into Cold War thinking and a Cold War mentality;"  he  also criticized Russia's controversial new law banning "gay propaganda."  He  dodged a question on whether  he  would meet with  Putin  at the upcoming G20 summit.
On the NSA programs revealed by Edward Snowden  Obama insisted  "We don't have a domestic spying program" and expressed  his  desire to see Snowden face trial "with a lawyer and due process." In one offbeat moment  Leno referred to Snowden  as well as Blackwater  as "Hessians " the German mercenaries hired by the British army during the American Revolutionary War.
If    in fact  the allegations are true  then  he  didn’t do that. And that is a huge problem because a lot of what we do depends on terrorists' networks not knowing that  in fact  we may be able to access their information.
LENO: And  Putin  seems to me like one of those old-school KGB guys.
OBAMA: Well   he  headed up the KGB. (Laughter.)
LENO: Yes. Well  that’s what I mean. Yes  that’s what I mean.  He  has that mentality. I mean  look at this picture here. You two don’t look pretty — (laughter) — you look like me and the NBC executives. What is going on there? (Laughter.) That doesn’t look like a friendly picture.
OBAMA: Well  the truth is  is that when we have meetings we can have some pretty blunt exchanges and animated exchanges. But  he ’s got — that seems to be  his  preferred style during press conferences  is sitting back and not looking too excited. (Laughter.) Now  part of it is  he ’s not accustomed to having press conferences where you’ve got a bunch of reporters yelling questions at you.
OBAMA: I think  Putin  and Russia have a big stake in making sure the Olympics work  and I think they understand that for most of the countries that participate in the Olympics  we wouldn’t tolerate gays and lesbians being treated differently. They’re athletes  they’re there to compete. And if Russia wants to uphold the Olympic spirit  then every judgment should be made on the track  or in the swimming pool  or on the balance beam  and people’s sexual orientation shouldn’t have anything to do with it.

no
