The internet may demonstrate this at an accelerated level but books and newspapers and especially talk radio have been manufacturing outrage for years and people have been lapping it up... I'm reminded from a scene from the movie "American Beauty". Colonel Frank Fitts is reading the newspaper with a disgusted look and comments "This country is going straight to hell!". And I'm guessing we have all seen people like this. They can't wait to read the news and become outraged.
