Subtitle: "Let's stop this nonsense," Fauci said.
by Ben Gittleson, July 15, 2020.
This sentence:
Over the weekend, the White House provided several media outlets with a misleading list of comments made by Fauci, in an effort to undercut him.
Note: "a misleading list of comments"
I think they mean to say "a list of misleading comments", which would mean that Fauci's comments were misleading, or were thought to be misleading by the White House.
As written, the statement means ABC News finds the list of comments misleading.

I think ABC did mean to say that it’s a misleading list. Fauci made statements that turn out to have been mistaken (because doctors and researchers now know more), but he wasn’t trying to mislead anyone. The misleadingness is on the part of the White House, presenting, for instance, Fauci’s statement that people didn’t have to change their daily routines but omitting the warning that followed — that with different circumstances guidelines would have to change.
Okay. But here's another one, from Google News:
False list of 'home treatments' for COVID-19 circulates online
What is a "false list"? It's not really a list? I prefer:
List of false 'home treatments' for COVID-19 circulates online.
