I've actually had this experience with many journals and podcasts. I love the first 40 or so episodes. I feel that the creators are being straight forward and that the journal is a beacon of truth.

Then one day I notice that the articles seem to be repeating narratives and fail to fully address the facts and realize that the journal was simply employing a formula designed to fool the readers.

In some cases the journal is open about its biases. These I don't mind. The NYT bugged me because the manipulation seems to be at a deeper level. Even worse, the manipulation seems to be more damaging than openly biased media.
