Examples of your sources? If they align more often than not with CNN then alarm bells should be going off. The problem is, many look for new sources that simply codify their deeply held beliefs, instead of actually investigating and using a little common sense. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of this at times, myself included, however, if something doesn't pass the smell test, I can put my politics aside. Most of the stories I see from the left-wing media stink to high heavens. Some of the right-wing media sources do the same. In short, I have found that Democratic politicians simply lie more often and are much more manipulative and conniving than their counterparts.
