I can see compelling reasons for why the media might be biased. Your proposed replacement scenario seems no more favorable toward the media. Extortion. "Spin us a story, Amazon, or we'll crucify you." Or abject laziness. "Spin us a story, Amazon, because we're too lazy to think and investigate for ourselves." Perhaps all three of those are combined to varying degrees.

Or maybe if you aren't willing to tell your side of the story, then don't be surprised if your side of the story doesn't get told. Amazon is a bit like Walmart, they are going to do what they are going to do and they don't really seem to care what people think. Now, it could be that Amazon is pure as the driven snow, but it's equally possible that Amazon's side of the story isn't all that attractive. It's left up to the imagination of the reader and if the other side is filling in the gaps in the imagination.
My take is that Amazon is simply playing extreme hardball like they normally do. I have no problem with that. No one is putting a gun to anyone's head and making them do business with Amazon.
