If it had no other purpose than to intentionally outrage people, why was it shown? Why was this person outraged, and why did this discussion happen? To further the cause of political divisiveness. Mission Accomplished.

I'm not saying you said it didn't happen. I'm saying that what you see on 'the news' is not only chosen by someone with some sort of agenda, it often isn't even fact. And, even in the best of cases it is only one side of a complex story.
As a friend of mine says, "There's what He said, and there's what She said, and there's what really happened."
And I agree about the one purpose being political divisiveness. Another thought I usually have is "Who stands to profit from this story and in what way?" You can usually follow the money trail back to the source.
