To many viewers  NBC figure skating analysts Tara Lipinski and  Johnny Weir  are Olympic darlings — a one-stop shop for knowledge  sass and brass. Others  however  reach for their ear plugs  calling the duo mean  obnoxious and distracting. This debate resurfaces every time Lipinski and  Weir  appear on television.
“They’re just awful ” one commenter wrote after a Washington Post interview with Lipinski and  Weir . Another added  “They chatter incessantly like a couple of squirrels.”
Whether you appreciate Lipinski’s and  Weir ’s “truth” — and their newfangled approach — it appears they’re here for the long haul. Aside from anchoring the final figure skating competition Thursday night (the women’s free skate)  and the exhibition gala over the weekend  NBC announced that Lipinski   Weir  and Gannon will also host coverage of the PyeongChang Closing Ceremonies this weekend. The reaction to this news? Predictably  it was both joy and agony.

Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kobe Steel ? TOKYO (Reuters) -  Kobe Steel Ltd  admitted on Tuesday  its  data fraud has been going on nearly five decades and also revealed new cases of cheating  highlighting the challenges facing the 112-year-old company mired in compliance failures and malfeasance.
Kobe Steel  which supplies steel parts to manufacturers of cars  planes and trains around the world  admitted last year to supplying products with falsified specifications to about 500 customers  throwing global supply chains into turmoil.
 Kobe Steel  also announced the resignation of Executive Vice President Akira Kaneko and temporary pay cuts for up to 80 percent of all internal directors and executive officers.

 PROBLEMS LONG ENTRENCHED
Kobe Steel  said the data cheating started at least as early as the 1970s  based on testimony from multiple sources interviewed by the external investigation team.
 The company  mapped out various preventive measures  including setting up an external committee to oversee quality issues  but those familiar with  the company  say  its  problems are entrenched.
 Kobe Steel  has had a series of scandals in the last dozen years  including taking part in bid-rigging for a bridge project in 2005  failing to report income to tax authorities in 2008  2011 and 2013  and falsifying emissions data in 2006. Illegal political funding to candidates in local elections in 2009 also prompted the resignations of the then CEO and chairman.
The data fraud scandal  though  so far appears to have left  Kobe Steelâs  finances unscathed. In February   the company  reinstated a forecast for  its  first annual profit in three years for the year ending March 31.
But  the company  is also undergoing a U.S. Justice Department probe  meaning  it  still faces legal and financial risk. A Japanese government-sanctioned seal of quality has been revoked on some of its product as well.
âThere is a pending risk for  Kobe Steel  as customers at home or abroad may cancel their contracts and take legal actions  and the U.S. Justice Department may seek a penalty â said Makiko Yoshimura  director at S&P Global Rating Japan.

Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michael Flynn Jr. ? In court Friday morning   Flynn 's only comments were to answer yes and no to questions from the judge. He told the judge he has not been coerced to plead guilty or been promised a specific sentence.  Flynn  faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison  according to federal sentencing guidelines  though the judge Friday morning stressed he could impose a harsher or lighter sentence.
In a statement   Flynn  said he acknowledged that his actions "were wrong  and  through my faith in God  I am working to set things right.
 Flynn 's plea agreement stipulates that  he 'll cooperate with federal  state or even local investigators in any way Mueller's office might need  according to a document filed in court Friday.  He  could also be required to participate in covert law enforcement operations (such as wearing a wire) if asked  or share details of  his  past dealings with the Trump transition and administration.
The agreement adds that Mueller's office won't prosecute  Flynn  for additional crimes they outlined in  his  statement of offense Friday  such as  his  misreported foreign lobbying filings about  his  work for Turkey. If other prosecutors outside the special counsel's office  such as US attorneys or state law enforcement  wanted to charge  Flynn  with alleged crimes  they still could  and  he 's not protected if  he  lies to investigators again in the future or breaks the terms of  his  plea agreement.

In court  prosecutors detailed calls made by  Flynn  in late December 2016 to the senior Trump transition team at Mar-a-Lago to discuss conversations with Kislyak. There were multiple conversations with the transition while he was having conversations with Kisyak about Russia sanctions and the Russian response.
According to a statement of offense filed in court   Flynn  conducted several calls with senior officials on the Trump transition team about his discussions with Kislyak related to US sanctions of Russia.
 Flynn  and Trump advisers discussed US sanctions three times. The first call discussed the potential impact on the "incoming administration's foreign policy goals " according to the court filing  from which details were partially read during  Flynn 's plea hearing.
 Flynn  then called Kislyak to ask that Russia not respond too harshly to US sanctions  the statement of offense said.  He  told a Trump transition official about that call. Russia responded by choosing not to retaliate to the sanctions.
KT McFarland was a senior transition official at Mar-a-Lago who was described as discussing with  Flynn  what  if anything  to communicate to the Russian ambassador about US sanctions  according to sources familiar with the matter. McFarland was not named in the document  but sources confirmed she was one of the transition officials described in the court filings.
McFarland met with Mueller investigators recently to answer questions about  Flynn   according to the sources.
According to the special counsel charges  McFarland and  Flynn  talked about the potential impact of the sanctions on the incoming Trump administration's foreign policy and that the transition team did not want Russia to escalate the situation.
The bulk of the back-and-forth calls from  Flynn  to the Russian ambassador and to Trump advisers happened around December 29  while the advisers were at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
 Flynn  lied to investigators about these calls with the ambassador  according to  his  guilty plea and the criminal statement of offense.
The charging document states that  Flynn  made a false statement to the FBI when he stated that in December 2016 he did not ask Kislyak "to refrain from escalating the situation in response to sanctions that the United States had imposed against Russia that same day; and  Flynn  did not recall the Russian ambassador subsequently telling him that Russia had chosen to moderate its response to those sanctions as a result of his request."
The document also says that  Flynn  falsely said  he  did not ask Kislyak to delay the vote on a pending United Nations Security Council resolution.
