if you're not stupid and dont have stupid opinions, you just wont be outraged. if you're not stupid, you likely just wont be outraged.

Your comment relies on the broken assumption that outrage is caused by the outragee having stupid opinions/being stupid.

It fails to account for the majority of outrage-inducing news where the stupidity is at the source.

Doesn't it rather suggest that it's stupid to get outraged at the news?
