"Outed", "reveled", etc.

The purpose of this type of language is to influence people. In other words, it's propaganda.

In contrast to the $14 million donations to the Reform UK party in 2019, which were surely not used to influence anything

Nothing in that article is relevant to anything. It is a collection of bullet points that have little relation to each other.

Donating to Nigel Farage's party is all that happened.

Someone from Asia has a local name and a "western" name, stop the presses. You know that is extremely common right?

"Secret identity business man uses the most relevant jurisdictions for doing international business and appears in a data leak, look at that" mmmmk

Is there a site cataloguing the “loaded language” (at least in English) that is designed to inflame?

Wikipedia's editorial standards. The editors fight over language all the time.
