You are confusing the content of the magazine with the glossy ads for Pilot-Mill-Of-The-Month. Les Abend and the late Gordon Baxter are and were Flying's only connection to the 121 world, I believe.
I'm not really sure of what slanted agenda you speak...(unless you're one of those that think that Grandpa Joe in his J-3 Cub and Uncle Bob in his rebuilt Stinson are polluting the airspace)
AOPA and Flying magazine have always been a propaganda mill for promoting aviation in general but also towards encouraging young people to pursue careers as pilots.
Nearly every other page has an ad for an aviation college or flight academy. Flight Training magazine has an article in most every issue about some aspect of becoming an airline pilot.
GA is dying. The only game left is the career minded newbie. Flying and Flight Training only exsist as a marketing vehicle for pilot mills. All those publications are in the business of selling a fantasy.
