| There's no daily news. There are just parallel news, of equal importance.

Precisely. Article One and Article Two are of equal importance. I have 
given them both the same level of importance -- <h2/>. Note that "Daily 
News" doesn't have any snipped text directly below it.

Or better yet:

It's clearly about libertarianism. How can a page containing two things -- 
an argument for, and an argument against libertarianism claim to be 
anything but a page about libertarianism (couldn't you have chosen an 
easier word to type? The case for/against fish?).

So the <h1/> should contain a heading for the entire page -- "Fish Debate" 
and the <h2/> elements mark out the beginning of each major section.
