politicises
Injects ideology into
Politicises is the British spelling of politicizes, meaning to make something political that wasn't before, or to give it political character.
A news story politicises an issue by framing it in partisan terms.
Critics often accuse opponents of politicising tragedies or institutions: They're politicising the disaster for electoral gain.
The word usually carries negative connotations—suggesting that political considerations are being injected where they don't belong.
