Malicious misinformation
Tim Graham, National Review Online, September 9, 2005:...There's only one problem with the Mr. Bill the Prophet tale. Mr. Bill was doing a PSA to preserve "America's Wetland," not build higher levees. Try finding the word "levee" in this story.Transcript of actual PSA from 2004:
MR. BILL: Gee, kids, I'm not sure we can do our show today because it looks like Hurricane Sluggo is headed right for us here in America's wetlands. WALTER WILLIAMS, MR. BILL CREATOR: That's right, Mr. Bill. And since New Orleans is below sea level, if a hurricane hit us directly, it could push the water over the levees and fill it to the top...(Just to let you know, I emailed the Corner to point this out, but they're too scared to admit their errors.)
