Some of it is politics and some of it is personality.
That said, I find the gripes in this article to be empty.
Kids may be able to buy O'Rielly's fiction but I doubt that many express an interest in reading anything (even if it contains a pornographic sex scene). The sex is supposed to be between a serial killer and someone else. The columnist is upset that the 2 aren't married. Where's the outrage tht one of them is a serial killer? There are bigger issues at hand, doofus. It is a work of fiction. Read once and set aside.
Gansta rap targets young adults (some over 24 may listen but I'd believe that the majority buying it are 14-24). They don't listen to a song just once either.
Apples and oranges.
Exactly. Ask any kid if he's read O'Reilly's steamy book and they're going to say, "Who?". Ask them about gangsta rap and they'll recite the words to any rap song by heart.
