Word of the day

(Via Urban Dictionary)
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.


Which reminds me of the Times of India. And that chota post, coming up next.
