PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . Bill Murray surprised Saturday Night Live viewers this weekend with a guest appearance as  former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon .
Appearing in SNLâs âMorning Joeâ sketch with Kate McKinnon playing Mika Brzezinski and Alex Moffat as Joe Scarborough  Murray pulled down the hood of a dark cloak to reveal himself as  Bannon . (In the past  the show has portrayed  Bannon  as a cloaked Grim Reaper character.)
âMy god  Steve  I always thought you looked like death but this is death warmed over â said McKinnon as Brzezinski.  Murrayâs Bannon  was appearing on the show alongside Michael Wolff  the author of Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House  played by Fred Armisen.
Murrayâs character denied the statements he made to Wolff that were published in the book â where he said that the meeting between a Russian lawyer and Donald Trump Jr.  along with Trump campaign aides  was âtreasonous.â ( Bannon  has apologized for the statement  calling Trump Jr. âboth a patriot and a good man.â  Bannon  has also stepped down from  his  role as executive chairman at the Breitbart News Network.)
As for political candidates Murray-as- Bannon  said  he  plans to promote next  those include disgraced YouTube star Logan Paul  former drug company executive and convicted felon Martin Shkreli  and the former âSubway guyâ Jared Fogel  who pleaded guilty to possession of child pornography and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity LeBron James is Negative . ''' James said at poine point . 
James had waded back into the fray over the weekend . 
INDEPENDENCE , Ohio -- LeBron James helped move the conversation forward Monday after the latest collision of sports and politics over the weekend . 
Where Gilbert was right , and where James could meet him in using his voice instead of his knee and encouraging the same from his peers , is in taking steps toward those highly sought constructive conversations and positive resolutions . 
"He does n't understand the power that he has , for being the leader of this beautiful country ," James said . 
Minutes later , though , James felt obliged to explain that kneeling during the national anthem is "not about disrespect of the flag and our military and everybody who has made this world free . 
James , the Cleveland Cavaliers ' star as well as the NBA 's top performer and perhaps its most polarizing figure , was in a good mood , engaged and willing to entertain questions about anything , from anyone , in the most notable exchange at the Cavs ' media day . 
James was savvy enough at the start of what became a 40-minute Q&A session to request that reporters clump their questions together by topic -- and there were a good half dozen meaty ones hanging over him and his team after a tumultuous offseason -- rather than skip randomly back and forth . 
James said he would lend his voice , his passion , his money and his resources to causes , particularly involving young people . 
His foundation launched a school in his hometown of Akron for at-risk students , helping 1,300 students at a cost of nearly $ 45 million , James said Monday . 
The Trump topic in particular ate up nearly half of his time on the platform , during which James shined a light and sharpened focus on an unwieldy issue that largely has been defined by and debated according to kneeling vs. standing , asserting one 's right to protest vs. respecting America and its flag , and most recently pushing back against or knuckling under to President Trump . 
Where James veered into dicey territory was when he said : "No matter whether you voted for him or not , you may have made a mistake and that 's OK , if you voted for him . 
James was asked if he expected the NFL 's controversy over players ' sideline protests to draw attention to what they feel is racial discrimination in law enforcement , up to and including brutality involving lethal force , to trickle down to the NBA when the league 's 2017-18 regular season begins Oct. 17 . 
It was n't as simple as second-guessing the 1984 Trail Blazers for drafting Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan , which James mentioned . 
"I did n't name-call ," James said . 
The state in which James was born , lives and works -- and the state in which the Cavaliers do business -- was carried by Trump in the 2016 election . 
The current president took Ohio with 51 percent of the vote , compared to 43 who voted for Hillary Clinton , who had the benefit of James ' public endorsement . 
Right there , James nudged the whole issue a bit . 
James at one point eloquently made a case for keeping politics out of sports . 
Asked how he would reconcile the idea of his neighbors , presumably many Cavaliers fans , voting that way , James doubled down .

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity John T. Downey is Positive . Downey was the youngest of the four. At 22  with one year of CIA service  he was destined to spend the next 20 years  three months and 14 days in Chinese prisons. His CIA partner  Fecteau  was 25. He was behind bars for 19 years and 14 days.
 Donald Gregg  who came into the CIA with Downey in 1951 and had dinner with him the night before his ill-fated flight  faults those in the CIA who oversold the program.
 On Nov. 29  1952  above the foothills of the Changbai mountains  Downey and Fecteau flew into Chinese air space in an unarmed C-47 Skytrain. They planned to swoop low over a rendezvous point marked with three small bonfires and use a tail hook to pick up a Chinese agent off the ground without landing. Downey was to reel in the agent with a winch aboard the plane.
 Also  Downey was well known to the Chinese operatives because he trained them. When Downey was captured  a Chinese security officer pointed at him and said in English  "You are Jack. Your future is very dark."
 For two years  until China announced that Downey and Fecteau had been convicted of espionage and sentenced -- Fecteau for 20 years  Downey for life -- neither the CIA nor the men's families knew their fate. The families received letters in December 1953 saying the two men were "presumed dead."
 The CIA historian says Downey told a debriefer after his release that he felt no bitterness toward his CIA boss.
 "I felt for him " Downey said. "It turned out to be such a goddamned disaster from his point of view."
Downey in March 1973  shortly after President Richard Nixon publicly acknowledged Downey's CIA connection.
 Downey  for example  said he would rise each morning and begin a series of activities in his cell: calisthenics  cleaning  eating  reading  listening to the radio and reviewing an occasional package of letters  books and magazines. Fecteau had a similar approach but varied his routine by the day of the week.

SOLUTION:
yes
