Well....it's a new term that has been thrown around for the last year or two, but rarely described. So this is my definition.
It's a guy/gal....who talks a lot, and hypes you up....to feel 'outrage' to such an extent....that you'd go and attend a protest, demonstration or vote in some wild way.
Rush Limbaugh? Yeah.
FDR? Yeah.
Trump? Yeah.
Most journalists at CNN? Yeah.
TV ministers? Yeah.
Cuomo, Pelosi, and Doctor Doom of Covid fame? Yeah.
The plain blunt truth is that most of us....if outrage peddlers were not around....wouldn't be that hyped up over politics, national leadership or anything in Washington DC.
Outrage peddlers going away? No. If anything, the profession seems to be growing. There are kids now (Greta) who serve as outrage peddlers. You've got various members of the NBA or NFL....who portray themselves as outrage peddlers. You have comedians who've dump comedy, and actively portray themselves as outrage peddlers.
