Memes, news articles, TV segments, email forwards, or other forms of media that are designed to invoke outrage. This is especially true for political-related topics. Viewers of outrage porn often become addicted and spend many hours per day trying to seek new outrage highs.
Liberal: "The Daily Kos had some good outrage porn today. Apparently some conservative said something stupid."
Conservative: "I just read an email forward that said Obama is going to turn all of the white people into slaves and make us all Muslin!"

When the meadia and political establishment react in outrage at an event yet provide no real explanation other than increasing levels of outrage aimed at stiring blind, frothy, hate.
man 1:
I feel really confused about what is happened with all the riots and stuff
man 2: yeah I just feel kind of guilty and useless after wayching all that outrage porn on the BBC
