[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lankford ? "We watched even this weekend  the Russians and their troll farms  and their internet folks  start hash-tagging out 'take a knee' and also hash-tagging out 'Boycott NFL '" said Lankford  whoâs a member of the Intelligence Committee. Theyâre trying âto raise the noise level in America to try to make a big issue  an even bigger issue as theyâre trying to just push divisiveness in the country. Weâve continued to be able to see that. Weâll see it again in our election time.â
FBI Director Christopher Wray  who testified about his agencyâs work  did not directly address  Lankfordâs  claim  but said the FBI is working to track Russian efforts to influence U.S. elections.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jackie Robinson ? (CNN) The President has excoriated football players who have joined a protest movement by former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick as unpatriotic. But the President is overlooking history -- which shows athletes now lauded as heroes  like  Jackie Robinson and Muhammad Ali   raising  their  voices (or taking a seat) in protests similar to Kaepernick's.
 Jackie Robinson   rightfully celebrated for showing enormous grace under pressure while breaking baseball's color line  refused to stand for the National Anthem after  his  playing days.
Jackie Robinson as a Brooklyn Dodger.
As  he  described in  his  1972 autobiography   Robinson -- like contemporary NFL players --  was protesting against institutional racism.  He  was expressing  his  feelings of alienation from America's system of racial apartheid.
 Robinson 's pugnacious brand of civil rights activism set the stage for succeeding generations of black athletes. Eleven-time NBA champion Bill Russell emerged as one of the most outspoken civil rights advocates of the 1960s  at a time when the city he played in  Boston  represented one of the most racially segregated cities in the North.
Above all  black American athletes are citizens  fathers  brothers  husbands and sons who have a right and responsibility to continue a long struggle for dignity exemplified by Jackie Robinson  Bill Russell and many others.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Laura Walker ? New York Public Radio (NYPR) president Laura Walker  told WNYC radio host Brian Lehrer in an on-air interview Tuesday that  she  "deeply regret[s]" the way  her  media organization handled reported allegations of sexual harassment against one of its top personalities  as some WNYC members threatened to stop donating to the radio station and called for  her  ouster.
The latest bombshell report to rock the liberal radio network  published Friday in New York Magazine  said NPR journalist John Hockenberry had sexually harassed and and bullied colleagues for years before he retired  seemingly out of the blue  in August. The article's author  Suki Kim  said she reported her experiences working with Hockenberry to  Walker  in February  long before the tidal wave of sexual harassment stories  starting with Harvey Weinstein  began.
"Every day for the last several weeks I have asked myself whether we took enough action "  Walker  said. "I apologize to ... the women who came forward. I have a huge amount of admiration and respect for these women."
 Walker  said  she  cannot comment on specific cases  however  including Hockenberry's.
"I can't comment on what action was taken but it was taken seriously  and we did take some action "  she  said.
 Walker  added  she  is now working with outside council to review the way NYPR handles sexual harassment claims.
 Walker 's plea for forgiveness wasn't enough for many listeners who called for  her  to step down.
" Walker 's behavior is cowardly and  her  responses during the interview embodied the kind of passive apathy which perpetuates harassment and bullying in the workplace " one Twitter user wrote.

Another tweeted  "After listening to Brian discuss the John Hockenberry issue yesterday and  Laura Walkerâs  responses today  I find  her  statements lame.  She  admits  she  knew about it long ago. We are sustaining members and I feel that we need a change in top management."
