You're thinking of the word 'conflate' wrong, maybe...
con·flate
/kənˈflāt/
verb
conflating: combine (two or more texts, ideas, etc.) into one.
"the urban crisis conflates a number of different economic and social issues"
You're saying we are hyping it up, just like I say you're down playing what the guy did to get shot in the back.
