It’s not a real paper, but a generic-looking rag produced by a prop designer that supplies the production houses creating the programs.

Sadly, the prop paper has a bigger Comics section than most real papers–and they’re in color.

Who spent their time putting all these clips together? Either someone who works in TV production and knew about this–or someone with a bizarre amount of free time (and a little OCD).
