Bill O'Really on Beyonce and Miley Cyrus..notice the difference

http://blog.zap2it.com/pop2it/2013/10/bill-oreilly-slams-miley-cyrus-on-the-view-i-dont-really-care-about-this-subject.html
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2578864/Beyonc-s-new-video-encourage-girls-color-pregnant-exploitative-garbage-Bill-OReilly-launches-tirade-against-pop-superstar.html

On Miley Cyrus....
O'Reilly countered, "I don't talk a lot about her. Once in a while." He then proceed to talk, you know, a lot about her.
"I just want to make it perfectly clear that I don't really care about this subject, however I do care about kids," he continued. "When Miley Cyrus, who is Hannah Montana, has a big following, and now she's telling magazines that she takes drugs that are dangerous, that's bad. What she did on stage, you guys make the call, all right? I've said that I think this is a talented woman, that she has acting and musical talent, that she doesn't need to make a spectacle of herself to succeed. If she wants to be Lady Gaga, that's her choice."
O'Reilly continued with some parenting advice for the "We Can't Stop" singer's father, Billy Ray Cyrus: "But if I were her dad, number one, I wouldn't discuss it in public, I'd discuss it in private. And I would just say, 'Look, the guidance is, you want a long career? You want to be respected? You don't do what she did.'"

On Beyonce...
O’Reilly said the video 'glorifies having sex in the back of a limousine,' and then warmed to his point saying, 'Teenage girls look up to Beyoncé, particularly girls of color. She’s an idol to them," he continued. “I’m saying: Why on earth would this woman do that?
O’Reilly insisted that Beyoncé has “an obligation to protect children” and not to put out “exploitive garbage.” He called the video “inexplicable” and was utterly bemused when Simmons said that the music video is, in fact, a work of art.'Why would she do it when she knows the devastation that unwanted pregnancies - and fractured families - why would Beyoncé do that?'

But Myley can carry a tune. Better than Brittney or most other pop stars.

Meatloaf. How many years ago was that? Does O'Reilly have amnesia? I know he is old enough to remember that song. Oh, maybe that was ok because it was recorded by a MAN instead of a woman?
