The meaning of the words "grey" and "secrecy"

 
      The two sources I found regarding the definition of the word "grey" have a number  reference to refer to, but for a definition that does not refer to the color of the hair, that number is a "5."
      The indication is that the word "grey" as a "noun" connotes another kind of attribute that can indicate a government transparency reference  as it does in the merriam-webster.com, but collinsdictionary.com references the "dull and boring" aspect of a multifaceted word
      However, when used as a verb, the "grey" word denotes the color.
      The word "secrecy" is a noun—the merriam-webster.com source, defines the word "secrecy" the same as cambridge.org, using examples of how the word "secrecy" refers specifically to government, but dictionary.com used an example of the word "secrecy" that can connote the openness of a corporate entity, as it isn't always just government that seeks the full definition of the word "secrecy" to keep employees and/or outsiders ignorant of the corporate ethos.
       Why define the words "grey" and "secrecy"? 
      The 21st century's year 2024, is an election year, and my research sources have indicated the definition of those two words "grey" and "secrecy" can offer an insight as to how these particular words are used by journalists to indicate their point of view.
       Sadly, my research also indicates we are currently in an era when major media may not always present the news without a POV.
     Therefore, my conclusion is that a reader cannot always trust an article purporting to refer to a news report is unbiased, thus the definitions I've researched can alert a reader as to whether the reported news is a journalists' altered opinion interpretation of the event.
