In my experience, the kind of consumption of information that makes you angry is usually a byproduct of a larger issue. Usually something you're trying to avoid. I spent many years in my youth looking up news on injustice and it gave me something get furious about. Years later I realized that the anger existed way before the new articles, and I was just using the internet to channel it. It was a distraction that helped me avoid dealing with my own issues. My anger didn't have any current drama to latch onto, so news of events I couldn't possibly do anything about had to be the outlet.

I would rule out the root of the anger before concluding that it stems from online stuff.
