From a legal/historical view, Franken's work is the likely basis
for an insightful dissertation on the power of political/satirical
writing. O'Reilly's "work" is more likely the basis for a chilling
poli-sci or psychology/sociology dissertation on the abuse of
information and communications technology and its role in
government propaganda and mass hysteria. The former would satisfy
the skeptic in our nature; the latter, the cynic.
Reading both would meet the intellectual cravings many of us have
similar to that infrequent craving for carry-out Chinese
sweet-and-sour. :)
We'll have to see.
