Actually, it's from the Illuminatus! trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea. "Fnord" is a stand-in for a word the Illuminati have had sprinkled liberally throughout the news, but which all people are trained from a very young age to become anxious about seeing, and then to block it out (and then made to forget the training). So, people read or watch the news and are made extremely anxious, but advertising has no fnords, so they feel more comfortable reading that. And this leads to a consumer culture that the Illuminati can more easily control, because they control the economy. Or so it goes.
