Need to drive more traffic to your news website? Manufacture some outrage!sides the fact that we have a lot more news in general, and there is the internet reporting everything so a much wider perspective of the world than in the past, we also have those controlling the media who gain a lot from pushing a message of fear and chaos.
No one paying attention to your Twitter account? Manufacture some outrage!
Advertisers pulling out of your newspaper due to low readership?
Manufacture some outrage!
I'm sure it's been said, and noticed, many many times on this forum, but we truly live in the era of manufactured outrage. Yes, there is still much to be done about the global state of affairs, but why, when we live in the generally safest and most peaceful period in global history, is everyone walking around in a constant state of fear and mental distress? Hint: the answer has two words, the first one sounds like "canyoufracture"
