I think it's sad when we need to read a china newspaper to get the full story.

Press the Prtscreen button, above the Insert key, and then press 'paste' in an image program.

the printscreen button won't copy the entire page just what is on the screen. Does anyone know how to turn a webpage into a jpg?

I don't know if there have been changes since the links were first posted, but the articles that I see are far from identical, and certainly not similar enough to make one think that the second article simply copied the first and left out the Paul mention.

I agree with the sentiment, that the American press is intentionally not mentioning Paul - I just don't think the articles that I see are similar enough to be compared in that way.
