You are referring to what calibre calls "recipes." Recipes create ebooks from free content supplied by the source newspaper. An author who uses Calibre has written the recipe, and he/she selected the content included in the ebook. The author may be anyone from Kovid to a volunteer who has written only that one recipe.
You are free to modify the recipe to change the content. Sometimes the author has selected more than you want, and you should remove the content you don't want. Sometimes the recipe has the ability to download much more than anyone could read, so the author has written it to be able to retrieve it all, but limited it to a small sample subset of the content. The user needs to modify it to add more content.
In a nutshell, you are limited to the free content that the newspaper makes available and the subset of that content that the author thought was interesting enough to include. I have always been amazed at how much free content newspapers provide. Sometimes the free content is better than their paid content.
Are they "real?" Answer: Emphatically, yes!
