It's an opinion.

Opinions only have as much value as you give them. Your opinion has been given no value, thus it has none.

Do I even have to? If you've been paying attention at all it should be self evident. They lied about Covington. They Lied about Rittenhouse. They lied about the impeachment. They lied about bleach. They lied about fish tank cleaner. They lied about horse paste. They lied about the vaccine. They lied about the laptop. They lied about J6.

Even putting aside for a moment the question of whether or not "the news" actually lied about any of those things (bear in mind that, on every single one of those matters, "the news" has taken multiple mutually exclusive viewpoints and it is therefore overtly paradoxical to claim that they all lied, even before looking at the rather tenuous basis you have for that belief), that's nine things. Nine things, amid literally hundreds of thousands of stories every year. That's not exactly the most representative sample, you know.

You really need to take a step back and realize that what you're actually saying is not "the news always lies," but rather "any news that disagrees with what I've already decided must be true is lying." Insisting otherwise is just dishonest.

News outlets blowing things out of proportion is the joke. The LGBTQ flag being involved is entirely ancillary.

You can keep saying this as many times as you want, but it's never going to be true. The actual intent of the joke is blatantly obvious to anyone with even the most cursory grasp of what's going on in the world. If you're interpreting it differently, that might be cause to re-evaluate the amount of attention you're paying.
