That's because the threshold for writing "X causes outrage" in a headline is "one random nobody tweeted angrily about it". For any given topic you can always find at least a single person who is angry about it. So this might just as well be known as the Shitty Clickbait Journalism Age.

Then again, people do love to go with the outrage train, even if it is something they don't care that much about.
