There is so much emphasis on fake news but I think any story can be shaped by _which_ facts are discussed. Face it, you can't put a complete nuanced view in the sound bite world of social media.
At the same time, I think people enjoy being outraged. You get an actual physical energy burst, and you can think how superior you are to the misguided idiots you are talking about.
I don't think social media is tricking us into this behavior, it is just helping us do it better. It would be good if we could figure out how to discourage the behavior in the first place.
