Echo chamber: Bloomberg "commentary" health IT falsehood goes from Limbaugh
to WSJ's Moore and Fox, back to Limbaugh

Summary: The Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore and Fox News anchors Bill
Hemmer and Megyn Kelly promoted the falsehood -- which first appeared in a
Bloomberg "commentary" by Betsy McCaughey and was subsequently promoted by
Rush Limbaugh and Matt Drudge -- that the economic recovery bill includes a
provision that would, in Moore's words, "hav[e] the government essentially
dictate treatments." Limbaugh later took credit for spreading this story.
