The website of Fox News has a story with photos about Kim Jong Il's son, whose movements have recently been the subject of some speculation in the Western press. Excerpt:

North Korean officials in Beijing commented that Kim stays at the Kunlun or Kempinski Hotel whenever he visits the Chinese capital. The Kunlun Hotel is across Dongsanhuan Road to the west of the South Korean Embassy... ...Kim Jong-nam arrived in Beijing from Macau by direct flight on Sunday. He reportedly plans to fly to Pyongyang on North Korea’s Koryo Air at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday to celebrate his father’s 64th birthday on Friday. He spoke in English to a reporter from Japanese broadcaster Fuji TV at a shopping center in Beijing on Sunday evening, where Kim said he meets his father occasionally and freely visits North Korea... ...Kim said he was aware of ongoing six-party talks on North Korea’s nuclear program in Beijing but had no personal interest in the issue ...

Comments on Kim Jong Il's son sighted in Beijing - photos
I'm not sure I would classify Fox News as Western "press". Keith Oberman at MSNBC constantly addresses it as the "Fox Noise Channel". Ha! It's not much better than many of the Chinese official mouthpieces when it comes to propagnada.
uh i think kim is a crazy guy and someone should do something about him and his nuclear power
