PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sarah Huckabee Sanders is Positive . Sarah Huckabee Sanders  lied about baking a chocolate pecan pie for Thanksgiving. The White House press secretary further ruined the national holiday by humiliating the press corps by asking them why they are grateful. While none of this is true   attacking Sanders  personally has become the media’s latest and lowest method of attacking President Trump.
“Piegate” started after  Sanders  shared a picture on Thursday of a chocolate pecan pie with the caption   “I dont cook much these days  but managed this Chocolate Pecan Pie for Thanksgiving at the family farm!” April Ryan  the American Urban Radio Networks correspondent and a CNN political analyst  tweeted at  Sanders  the next day: “Show it to us on a table.” She then added  “I am not trying to be funny but folks are already saying #piegate and #fakepie Show it to us on the table with folks eating it and a pic of you cooking it.” Ryan’s insinuation that  Sanders  used a stock photo launched a viral debate involving every nook and cranny of the crust and glazed pecan top of the pie.
 Sanders  responded to the second tweet with grace: “Don’t worry @AprilDRyan because I’m nice I’ll bake one for  you  next week ;-) #RealPie #FakeNews.”
Ryan’s fake news was so influential that other liberal media kept the rolling pin going. On Saturday  MSNBC’s Joy Reid  said she “cannot verify whether or not  Sanders  baked that pie.” Did anyone at MSNBC call the White House and ask? Fox News’s Todd Stearns did  and  Sanders  told him  “Of course I made the pie.” She added that  “I make it for every holiday family gathering and have for years.”
 Sanders  was also attacked for asking reporters  in a pre-Thanksgiving briefing  to state what they were thankful for before asking their questions.  Sanders  started by saying she was thankful for  among other things  the people in the room  her faith and family. Reporters almost all responded in kind  which gave the usually antagonistic briefing room a kinder atmosphere.
 Sanders  is a practicing Christian  who prays before she does the daily briefing  so one would think she would be given the benefit of the doubt in understanding this as a good-will effort to transcend partisanship.
Piling on  his colleague Kathleen Parker said  Sanders ’s request was “candy-coating her usual condescension with faux fellowship.” Parker used the rest of her column to criticize every aspect of  Sanders ’s professional skills and recommended that she be replaced with — naturally — a journalist.
The Thanksgiving nastiness wasn’t even the lowest the media sank in its attacks on  Sanders .
Earlier this month  Los Angeles Times writer David Horsey began his piece: “ Sarah Huckabee Sanders  does not look like the kind of woman Donald Trump would choose as  his  chief spokesperson.”  He  went on to say  she  “looks more like a slightly chunky soccer mom who organizes snacks for the kids’ games.”
The backlash to this piece  especially the reference to  Sanders ’s weight  was so swift that the Times deleted all of it from the column and added an apology from the author. This is not standard procedure in newspapers. The as-written text normally stays in the piece  unless factually incorrect. There’s no way the Times did this because it cares about Trump supporters. It cares about female readership. And we don’t like men judging our weight and appearance at work.
The media hostility toward  Sanders  really has nothing to do with her but stems from its barely concealed hatred for Trump. So they want a Trump spokesperson to perform badly. But  Sanders  is effective in the way she does not give an inch in defense of the president  while keeping her cool and appearing unfazed. That means she gives the media few sound bites to nourish liberal cable shows and late-night television. She ducks and dodges when needed  which is part of the job.
 Sanders  has thick skin and a strong faith. None of these personal attacks appear to get to her  no matter how low and mean. She knows her purpose is to defend and promote the policies of the president and the administration. At some point  the elite pundit class in the media will realize that in attacking  Sanders   they are the ones who end up looking bad.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ryan Lewis is Negative . Ryan Lewis   the famed producer known for  his  talents alongside breakout musician and independent hip-hop artist  Macklemore  has lived a life in the limelight. From winning a Grammy for Best Rap Album of 2014  to being involved in handfuls of tangential creative endeavors and collaborative projects   Lewis  has seemingly lived two lives:  his  own  and the perception created as a resultâacross news outlets  industry blogs  and social media channels  each telling  his  story from their own angle and perspective.
 Lewis   who has a track record of applying technology and an understanding of the role it can play in creating public conversations  saw this as an opportunity to answer that tough question: âWhatâs at the heart of what everyone is saying about a topic or a person online?â
And  he âs decided to leverage blockchain technology to do it  with a handful of early investors already on board and an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) planned for this year.
âAs soon as this idea started to marinate  I began to form a team to move the vision forward â said  Lewis   talking about  his  deliberate shift from time spent on music to balance time in the tech scene. âIâve always had an interest in tech  just by the nature of the projects Iâve been involved in over the past decade. And one of the biggest lessons Iâve learned as a music producer is that a great producer knows what theyâre good at and what theyâre not good at. As I began to realize there could be a better way to more accurately and objectively organize stories on the Internet  I knew I needed a team.â
The first person  Lewis  shared his idea with was longtime collaborator and close friend  Macklemore  who immediately saw the value and came on board as the first investor and company advisor.  Ryan  then worked closely with Josh Karp and Scott Lewis  early creative partners  to continue articulating the vision. After achieving initial milestones   Ryan  connected with current tech partner  RJ Smith  a 20-year technology veteran with a unique background pioneering transformational initiatives inside the US government.
âThese were problems I was already working on â said Smith. âTo meet another person with a ton of talent and a different set of skills  but with a shared passion  was invaluable. The challenges in a new start are humbling  and it was exciting to join forces with  Ryan  and other team members to execute this huge vision together.â
