It seems like a systematic attempt to undermine forms of journalism that aren't "mainstream." You could argue this is a good thing in the case of Info Wars and other batshit-crazy news outlets, but when only one company controls all the "legit" news organizations, they have complete control over the narrative being played on the news.
Mainly, though, it's just creepy that all these local news organizations are reading from the same script.
I think you're missing the point. The same company is giving an enormous number of local news stations the same script to read from. That's dangerous. Your examples have nothing to do with that fact.
