Crocodile that terrorised town for three days turned out to be an inflatable toy
It’s all been blown out of proportion.
In german we call this a: "Sommerlochschlagzeile"
A "summer hole news headline". As it is normal that in the summertime, typically during the summer holidays, people are in their vacations, less happens in society and politics. And also the journalists are away more often, so more "nothingburgers" get made big by the media, who have to print something to fill their newspaper

there’s a word for that:
Wortfindungsfähigkeit
Its just that you can assemble words together with certain rules, to create compound nouns.
