Or maybe theyre trying to subvert the movement by posting nonsensical sensationalised bs like this to put people off having the real conversation? Who knows

You mean the way that pretty much all media does in the modern age, regardless of political leanings, mainly because "crazy" and "outrage" get better ratings?

Think of some of the most ridiculous clickbait article titles you've seen on the Internet. That's basically what the 24-hour news cycle and competing for-profit news channels have turned "the news" into in general, because the drive to get eyes on your product outweighs anything even remotely resembling "the truth".

Any time a given movement or group begins to push an ideological agenda, regardless of what that agenda is, or which "side" it's on, broadcast news will almost always present things in a way that encourages the viewer to simultaneously be angry about but also somewhat mocking of the group in question. Because humans are terrible and that's exactly the sort of narrative that pulls ratings.
