For whose value of "false & misleading"

"close to 18000 false or misleading statements"

Have you actually read them all? Last time I looked there were countless references to, for example "Russia hoax" as an untruth.

Reality check. It was a hoax. Have they been removed?

The list of dubious entries is endless. When hyperbole, litotes, precision and other well understood colloquial and meaningful turns of phrase are suddenly "false", then the language becomes useless.

It is getting worse.

Nouns are becoming unusable, because "labelling"

Adjectives and adverbs are now by definition either discrimination or racist

... and the list goes on
