mock outrage

A faked display of righteous or resentful anger mixed with a small amount of actual anger caused by embarrassment, for example when somebody says what everybody is thinking. Standard modus operandi in early 21st Century American politics, very commonly seen on political blogs.

A comment by a upper-middle class mother of a potential Army recruit that "the army is not for our people" caused a lot of mock outrage on liberal weblogs.

Outrage Junky

A person on the internet, usually a social media platform, who is addicted to the endorphin hit received from being outraged. Outrage junkies often invent or find trivial things to be outraged over in order to get their fix.

Manufactured Outrage

A falsified righteous outrage at things that are basically unimportant and meaningless, frequently employed by politicians, political activists, or the media. Politicians and talking heads use it to garner support for their causes, to claim the moral high ground and to tar their opponents; the media often just uses it in a cynical bid to increase ratings.

Manufactured outrages of note include Nipplegate, the Monica Lewinski scandal, the 2009 tea partys, backmasked satanic lyrics, lapel pin controversies...

Just about any time you hear any politician, activist, or radio show host getting outraged about anything, really. The louder and angrier they get, the harder they're working at manufacturing it.

Selective Outrage

1) Outrage against a moment/incident that is aligned to your ideology
2) Not being neutral
3) Using your own filter in mind to accept few news and rejecting another

John - "Hey you know that, a priest was lynched by people infront of police; I guess he was doing robbery anyways. Why so hue and cry?!"
Again John - "Shout! Shout! Police officers killed two people in custody without any proof."
Sam - "You are full of selective outrage."
