Mostly on the news I always hear 「～と思う」 very often at the end of a sentence,
so i started to wonder, Does it has other meaning besides of "I think"?

Meaning 「～と思う」 at the end of a sentence
One could argue that 思う has meanings other than "to think", such as "feel" or
"regard", but they all boil down to thinking and emotions. The reason you hear
it so often actually isn't because it has separate meanings. You hear it a lot
because it shows the speaker is uncertain or has quoted an opinion and is not
necessarily a fact. This makes it great for the news, because it takes the
accountability off of the speaker. This is used _very_ often, even outside the
news.
