outrage archaeologist

One who sifts through historical records with the intent of discovering information on past actions or statements by persons or entities alive, dead, active or defunct - the relevance of which has long since passed - for the express purpose of alerting the public to the "resurfaced" material in order to take a moral stance and/or instill outrage.
By dredging-up a long-forgotten, 48 year old interview of John Wayne - who died in 1979 - the outrage archaeologist had rediscovered statements far more controversial in the present than they had been in the past, thus creating a new moral outrage over a functional irrelevancy.
