The emotional state of increasing anger resulting in verbal or written rants about poorly written news articles, misleading headlines, and biased reporting.

Frowny-face journalism is a subset of the more general human interest story, which takes some boring, abstract, impersonal policy change or social problem, uses a large photo to illustrate the sadness of the story (e.g.crying children whose playcentre is closing or an old couple who are being forced out of their subsidised housing). As a consequence, readers automatically know what to think about the story - generally 'awwwww'. This is bad enough in itself, but there is an added danger: that of taking the analogy between the sad individual and the social issue too far.
Reading such stories is a common cause of news-rage

The arousal of negative emotions upon reading the Facebook status updates of friends through the News Feed, esp. when the statuses are asinine, arrogant, or pretentious.

Something for pseudo-intellectual losers with no life to rage against in between consuming bong hits, reading David Sedaris books, and boycotting WalMart.

Term used by a worthless network news barbie or cable news bunny to describe a story's seriousness and imply the amount of resources the network will apply to its journalistic investigation.

The term is frequently used to imply that the "reporter" will get to the bottom of the story and then back to the viewers in order to feed their news rage.

When a facebook, myspace or twitter user is mad and makes a status out of complete rage and noone gets it or even notices it

To relieve rage/tension, an individual may find a coconut tree and shake it to release the fruit. In cases where the climate does not allow for natural coconuts, the individual may choose to find the nearest fruit-bearing tree and shake that instead.
