Hooray for FUD

May 13, 2002 by Michael Boyle

Hooray for FUD

! I can’t begin to express how much stories like this one – “Star Wars film clones invade the Net” – piss me off. It’s clearly a story planted by some industry PR person or agency, and then parroted by others until soon it becomes real. I call bullshit on corrupt journalists and the papers who encourage them and employ them.
