Why are so many "History Channel" shows using only rightwing sources

like Washington Examiner and Faux news?

History Channel is owned by A&E which is owned by Disney and Hearst.

Is everything rightwing now?

I was watching "Unidentified" with very high up Obama officials and Harry Reid about how they are covering up UFO stuff and the series uses only these as background reporting.

This particular series clearly is trying to allege that UFO's are nothing more than technology we already have and not extraterrestrial but the team the show is comprised of including Harry Reid and Christoper Mellon dont say that.

Alot of that stuff is more than 2 years old and culls sources from the previous 10 years. That's naturally going to put the leadership at that time in the spot light.
