Generally cynically it means "because they aren't biased towards my politics and assumptions it is political" regardless of the facts on the ground in a field.
Really the closest to "molding" I have seen is more indirect from is a toxic culture of petty academic knife fights with obvious ulterior motives for trying to gin up scandals to get rid of competition for tenure. Like trying to oust a community college professor years later because he made Super Columbine Massacre RPG as a teenager as a satirical art game.
