I never really thought of it that way, but that is exactly what it is… a rage trap. My question is this fascination with media and rage trap is this just prevalent in America or does this fascination affects countries in the European Union or Europe ?

I think it’s a global phenomenon. Part of it might be feeling the need to be angry on behalf of other people or causes - rather than about something you have directly experienced. Lots of psychology to unpack.
