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

  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. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Words_to_watch https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Wo...

  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
