Still advertising from August 2009
I'm putting the advert tag with its date of August 2009 back on this article. All the negative material was removed in September 2009 &mdash; probably rightly, as most was unsourced &mdash; but much of the positive material, even if unsourced and clearly written in a pro-subject way, seems to have remained from before the tag was removed. It still contains blatantly biased content from before the tag was removed, like: It appears that many of these claims were from long before the cleanup. Also, everything concerning the XM Radio years, and her live and career previous to it, is now completely missing, despite being a major element of the subject. Though I think much of the old content was removed for the right reasons (lack of WP:BLP sources for most of it), the result is now that the article looks very much like an "authorized biography" page that omits anything that isn't "relevant" to marketing: in other words, an advertisement bio. --Closeapple (talk) 22:52, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * "a jury of her peers agreed with her" (blatant fanboy phrasing)
 * "became the only person to ever defeat the LBJ family in open court in Texas and achieved record ratings while there" (with only a Arbitron ratings list from 1996 as the source, which makes it unlikely to have said anything about being the only person to do anything, let alone in court)
 * "sponsors are chosen who can measure results" (No source. According to who? Her?)
 * "The show routinely outperforms much larger venues" (No source. According to who? Her?)
 * "delivering what James terms 'cash register ratings', a euphemism for actual sales totals" (No source, and who would be the authority on what sales are attributable to her instead of another ad outlet or the company's own unrelated success?)
 * the middle of the "show content section" being utterly unsourced/original research.
 * I knew that "jury of her peers" over-emphasis was a smokescreen for something: Turns out the judge threw out the biggest portion of her jury award. I've replaced the whole Controvesy section with a Career section, with sourced details of the Austin controversy instead.  I've also removed the "became the only person to ever defeat the LBJ family in open court in Texas and achieved record ratings while there" since it doesn't explain what "record" is supposedly "achieved", and it's highly unlikely that an Arbitron ratings list addresses who defeated the LBJ family, let alone with the very suspicious qualifiers "in open court" and "in Texas".  Now, someone needs to either prove or remove the other non-neutral, dodgy claims with no reliable sources. --Closeapple (talk) 11:25, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
