But it's not new for an outlet to have a general agenda. That was virtually always the case. I'm without a doubt that the agenda of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine has an agenda in bolstering the niche railroad model industry.

Thankfully, again, editorial rooms are not monoliths. They are ever-changing. The brand and the voice are respected and all attempts are made to remain consistent within that until any major direction changes are decided upon (again, not a dictated decision, but generally one with communal input from various sides of the publication). Don't mistake an image for the summary of ideas published anywhere.

It's also important to mind that a single publication may group several related ideas into an avenue and publish to speak for that larger avenue.

Working within the industry I have my critiques... but these kinds are unceasing, yet as inaccurate every time.

It's a terribly cynical method of assessment to attribute the basest, worst traits of an individual to a large and varied group. (It would also be inaccurate because no individual inherits the traits of the class by default excepting critiques of the medium itself which I don't gather is the problem in this case)
