The World Health Organization says it lacks a 'full picture' from Russia regarding the death of a 28-year-old plague lab worker in Siberia, who reportedly died of pneumonia of unknown origin. Russia has dismissed reports of a second case as false, while the US has formally requested more information and President Trump said he does not believe the incident is a bioweapon.

Each outlet is read blind: a classifier sees its headline and opening next to the story's own headline, without the outlet's name, and scores how the report presents the story. A logo sits at the classifier's average reading, so it can fall between two levels. These readings compare coverage of this story only; they are not ratings of the outlets.
