That comes straight out of corporate marketing departments.
The question asked in retail when setting up your department is always "what story are you telling?". The in store displays, signage, the print and video media advertising are all in alignment to "tell the story" to help sell the product.

Now we're to be outraged that Donald Trump played golf on a holiday weekend.

When I saw a headline on this from CNN, it cracked me up. They think everything Trump does, especially with the pandemic, is wrong and racist will kill people. But it's apparently very important that he stays in the White House doing the wrong, racist things, and killing people.

Considering how little truth there is in most advertising, I can see calling ads "stories."

Protestors in Kentucky hang the governor in effigy: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/politics/2020/05/24/second-amendment-supporters-protest-covid-19-restrictions-capitol/5250571002/
--- Quote ---It began as a celebration of constitutional rights but turned into a protest of coronavirus restrictions and Beshear’s administration. Folks toted their guns and waved American and “Don’t tread on me” flags. Taps honored the fallen, and free flags were given to veterans from all military branches.
Ed Bruce, who carried a replica colonial-era gun with a tag that read “1st Assault Rifle,” said he came out to make a point: government shouldn’t control what types of guns he or other law-abiding citizens carry, he said.

So the reporter has never heard of the Gadsden flag.
