We've been using a term, (#)forcedNews for a while, but yes, that sort of emotional rollercoaster is what they aim for — #MurdochRags same. They want to enrage you so the world you live by is framed by them.
There was a faux #ZuckerMatrix website that said something like "connecting you with the things that enrage you", which was very lol-worthy.
