Right

A bipartisan pair of senators urged Rubio to release $608 million in family planning funds to protect women and children amid Ebola spreading in the DRC and Uganda.

What every side reports

A bipartisan pair of senators, Jeanne Shaheen and Lisa Murkowski, sent a letter urging Secretary of State Marco Rubio to release family planning funding and supplies to aid women affected by an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Where the framing diverges

Both outlets frame the story similarly as a bipartisan appeal, but differ in specifics and emphasis: The Hill names only one senator in the excerpt and frames it as senators pressing the administration, while Fox News specifies both senators, cites a dollar figure ($608 million), and adds Uganda plus more vivid language about the outbreak's severity and those at risk.
