Not really, just a difference in form. Many learn things from fiction and many are entertained by non-fiction. That's why I said earlier that fiction is perhaps even more insidious. Reading fiction people have already agreed to the contract - the willing suspension of disbelief. Fiction/nonfiction really is a red herring and intent has nothing to do with freedom of speech.
