Looking at the European version, I don't see any of the big serious journalistic outlets. Most of what's in there are just tabloids or lifestyle magazines. And even if a newspaper is part of a big conglomerate, doesn't mean that they are not free
Here's one for France:

Sure it does. If the CEO of a news organization doesn't want something published, it doesn't get published. That's why you never see articles on the Washington post that are critical of Bezos/Amazon/etc. And so when you get huge swaths of the media controlled by just a few people, it is no longer free.
I note a lack of NPR in the us version.... also seems like conspiracy bullshit.
