Sensimental 

A subjective statement (or headline, or quotation) that is both sensationalised and sentimental but almost always devoid of the necessary evidence, credence or semblance of fact for it not to be regarded as useless.
The Five Year Strategy only referred to this issue a few times, on these occasions it was only a sensimental reference and essentially worthless.

'I won't let other people decide my family's future'; a purely sensimental quote.

'Immigrants storming our beaches for D-Day Part II'; a likely sensimental headline for a tabloid newspaper.
