I always read these like "as someone who leans libertarian, I'm starting to realise libertarianism is a bad idea"

Yes.
>Is every news story really an attempt to "divide society to get you hooked on news?"
Maybe not every, but yes. Not only to get you hooked on news, also to advance certain political ideas which depend on the journalist/medium.
>Do you also believe meteorologists gin up their weather forecasts with storms for better ratings?
I do. I'm not saying they make up storms, but they could very well make things look more grave than they are so people listen to them.
