I can't help but think that Bezos looks suspiciously like a James Bond villain here. Really rather concerning.

Wow.....now just try and imagine if the owner of Amazon also owned one of the most well-known media outlets in the world.

Once you see it, you can't unsee it. Same goes for the orchestration of media narratives. It's not really about bias, even though how it's usually complained about. Bias is a normal human condition than can be mitigated and/or accounted for. What we see here is the creation of "news" across multiple platforms intended to further narratives for narrow political or economic goals.
Only so many ways that you can say the same damn thing.
Make an experiment, take 100 people give them basic numbers to report and see how they write it up for a idiots attention span of 30 seconds to a minute of air time.
Even easier when one writes it for all of them.

No bud the problem is that a lot of the media critiques from the right aren’t actual critiques it’s just hysterical hyper-partisan bitching

It honestly could be something as simple as that JournoList thing where news personalities go to a private forum and share notes, and likely even create template broadcast scripts and whatnot. I know students do stuff like this. Might not be a top down thing so much as a journalist communication subculture thing.
The whole Bond villain thing is a compelling narrative, but it could be as simple as a private forum/group where newscasters go and say "So, how are you guys covering this? We don't want to axe each others' credibility by presenting differently" and it results in template coverage being a result of journalist interaction, not puppetmasters. Not saying this couldn't go either way, but I'd want to see how Bezos is influencing the news prior to believing, full stop, that he's giving these people marching orders.

It's not a conspiracy. These are all local news stations that are picking up the story off the wire. Most of the hard news isn't generated by these people. It's created by bodies like Reuters or the AP, and then re-broadcast by local journalists like these around the English-speaking world.
This was clearly one of the trending headlines of the day.
