Amazon Under Fire for Selling Kids' Book Written by Convicted Serial Killer

On that subject, what would it matter if he were a child molester? He's not going to molest anybody via novel, unless there are some recent innovations in book making that I don't know about.

I don't see why this is an issue.

Not a big deal. Doesn't matter to me.

No, I mean "disinclined", as in "not inclined to". And I still don't know what point you're attempting to make. You're comparing a book of fiction, by its nature a made up story, to a channel which purports to be news, news being, or supposing to be, a factual account according to avalible data.

Yes, you have identified the particulars of the situations. I am not referencing the particulars, but a principle common to both situations. If you have an issue with what I said...

People have a prejudice against a source, so they assume some information issued by the source is suspect in some way, without actually reviewing the information.

...then write it down.

I take issue with the fact that you evidently believe that there's some double standard in play in seperating the art from the artist in a work of fiction, but not seperating the credibility of the source in a news broadcast.

:lol: That's ridiculous, it's not like the book is a guide to murdering for children.

I think if the author offends people they shouldn't purchase the book. But it's not up to them to decide what others chose to purchase. LJS9502_basic

Oh, why's that? And if you explain yet again that a kid's book and a news broadcast are not the same thing, I will start posting up my own quotes blocks.
