No, "misleading" is a statement that is used because it suggests something else. It's a curious category because, differently from true and false, it's not about the statement itself but rather the intention behind its usage or the way it might be understood. It's frankly more of a political judgement than a matter of facts.
"Shark attacks correlate strongly with ice cream sales" is an entirely true statement that some would argue is also misleading.
Misleading should be removed as a category and replaced with a better hedge like "not sure"
