Please see this English text ...

From time to time, the press indulges in outbursts of indignation over the use of false or misleading information by the U.S. government in support of its policies and programs.


what does 'outbursts of indignation' mean ?? why press 'indulges in' ?

This concept is not clear

@tintin,
"Indulges in" means to take pleasure in something generally not allowed or available. You might "indulge in" fancy chocolates. "Outbursts of indignation" means loud complaining or yelling, something you would not expect from the normally restrained news press.

It would be more like anger from self-righteous judgment.
