Example Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ed Asner ? Ed Asner   TV icon and Hollywood veteran  appeared on Chris Jansingâs MSNBC program to promote  his  new book  âThe Grouchy Historian: An Old-Time Lefty Defends Our Constitution Against Right-Wing Hypocrites and Nutjobs.â Given the news of the week  Jansing started their exchange by referencing the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal.
 Asner  thanked  her  for having  him  on the show and added  âAnd not even a kiss?â
Jansing said âno â laughed a bit  and launched into the discussion  she  had intended to have with  him .
At the end of the discussion   Asner  tried again.
âYou still owe me a kiss â  Asner  said.
Jansing admonished  him  this time.
 Asner  replied: âNo  no  no  Iâm not a job procurer.â
The whole interaction felt like a microcosm of this scandal  and most sexual harassment scandals including most recently Fox News  which follow a similar pattern.  Asner âs suggestion  he  was owed a kiss was an expression of just how commonplace this sense of entitlement is  particularly as we are learning about the industry in which  he âs spent  his  career.
 His  brazenness bringing it up in a segment in which  he  was asked about workplace sexism is another clue.
Born in 1929   Asner  is much older than Weinstein  who ludicrously claimed through  his  representation to be an âold dinosaurâ¦ learning new ways.â But just like Weinstein   Asner  was alive and quite present during the womenâs liberation movement.  Asner   in fact became a cultural symbol for it along with  his  co-stars on âThe Mary Tyler Moore Show.â In his role as Lou Grant  Mary Richardsâ sexist boss  he was the fictional representation of the âdinosaurâ Weinstein is pretending to be in 2017.
Grantâs evolution as a character  into a champion for Mooreâs modern female character  was symbolic of societal change and  Asner  seemed to embrace it off screen  too.  He  backed the Equal Rights Act and advocated for more female hires on  his  spin-off  âLou Grant.â Since those days   he âs collected all the requisite Hollywood liberal lion creds.  He  backed single-payer health care  bashed President George W. Bush (with bonus dabbling in 9/11 Trutherism)  endorsed Barack Obama  and calls  himself  a socialist.
In between  Asner âs opening gambit and the close of this interview   he  went after President Trump for the behavior described in the âAccess Hollywoodâ tape  called for him and others in the wrong to be punished  but also hinted at his own culpability.
At the end of this segment  he jokingly reasserts that he is owed a kiss from Jansing. Jansing admonishes him  but then softens her statement with âkidding â barely audible under  Asner âs remarks. Thatâs another natural reaction  in the moment  to something uncomfortable and inappropriate. She wants to put down a marker that heâs out of line  but is unsure what tone that should take and what the offense warrants.
And  the finale is  Asner   one of the most powerful men in Hollywood for decades  pretending  he  has no power.
âNo  no  no  Iâm not a job procurer â  he  says laughing.
I read this is as  him  declaring  thereâs no quid pro quo  here.  He  has nothing to give  and therefore   his  comments arenât out of line.
