My local news ran a story about a 'controversial' new park statue, but the only angry quote came from a guy who lives two states over.
Checked the city council minutes and the vote was unanimous, with zero public complaints filed. How does a non-issue like that even become a headline?

They must have a quota for fake outrage to fill. Find one random guy online and call it a controversy. Journalism is just making stuff up now.

My own outrage quota is dangerously low this month, gotta step it up.

Right? The "fake outrage quota" thing is so real. My town paper did the same bit last month over a new bike lane. Their one angry source was a guy who doesn't even own a bike.
