I don't understand the difference between these two views

Working on the Coltrane's Book :-) ...

I create two views that do the same thing but the first one use the
generic view and the second a render to response.
I don't understand why because both works but the second besides don't
passe the category object, don't load the
django.core.context_processors.media I set in settings.py.
So if I use the second view, the media I use with MEDIA_URL are not
loaded. Why happening this?

[...] href="{{ MEDIA_URL }}/style.css" [...]

from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, render_to_response
from coltrane.models import Entry, Category
from django.views.generic.list_detail import object_list

# this works and load everything

def category_detail(request, slug):
category = get_object_or_404(Category, slug=slug)
return object_list(request,
queryset=category.live_entry_set(),
template_name='coltrane/category_detail.html',
extra_context={ 'category': category })

# this doesn't load the django.core.context_processors.media

def category_detail(request, slug):
category = get_object_or_404(Category, slug=slug)
return render_to_response(
'coltrane/category_detail.html',
{ 'object_list': category.live_entry_set()}
)
