What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story as a plague scare with still-missing facts, and NBC News, CBS News, The Atlantic and the New York Times all emphasize uncertainty or public health risk rather than a confirmed cause. France 24 and the Washington Post foreground Trump’s “we don’t think” bioweapon line, with Washington Post also noting U.S. officials asking Russia for more information. NBC’s earlier story is the only one to mention 200 people entering medical observation.
