Talk:Bianca de la Garza

Several issues concerning verifiability of sources
I've started to notice that a handful of sources and content that was just added are failing verification... looks like included a lot of content with sources, but the sources do not back up what is stated in the article. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 22:56, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
 * I've deleted some of the grandiosity and WP:PUFFERY. Lots of sentences that reference other notable figures which I have removed. I also added several failed verification and citation needed templates, as some content is completely absent from the sourced or is unsourced entirely. I don't want to disregard an assumption of good faith, but there may be a COI involved with recent edits. --PerpetuityGrat (talk) 23:34, 14 July 2021 (UTC)

Here is the article here2601:640:C681:C260:3DFF:71A8:482B:FF40 (talk) 21:31, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you - the article includes: "The network never publicly acknowledged de la Garza’s hiring. Despite anchoring the midday broadcast, she is not currently under contract with Newsmax, suggesting she’s trying out with the network in a freelance capacity."

Alden Shoe Company embezzlement in lead
I think it is highly pertinent to cover in the lead that de la Garza's assorted failing business ventures were funded via embezzlement money from her partner. Coverage in reliable sources on de la Garza from recent years is preponderous.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 10:52, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I have reverted this removal from the lead as the lead should summarise the rest of the article and this scandal is a major portion of the reliable source coverage of de la Garza and therefore belongs in the lead.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 10:12, 20 August 2021 (UTC) - strike sock comment

Legal issues
In 2020 Alden Shoe Company sued de la Garza over its former CFO's alleged embezzlement of $27 million. The ex-CFO, Richard Hajjar, pled guilty wire fraud, unlawful monetary transactions and filing a false tax return, and was sentenced to 70 months in prison.

Newsmax show
While it does appear that she had years on John Bachman Now, that show is no longer listed on the Newsmax schedule, and de la Garza appears to be the host of something called Newsline. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 06:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
