In a story about the challenges facing #vegan restaurants, @mbolotnikova.bsky.social Bolotnikova of Vox doesn't treat #veganism as merely a food preference or consumer trend.

In a story about a massive, high-tech chicken slaughterhouse capable of killing up to 3M birds a week, the @theguardian.com asks a question routinely missing from meat industry coverage: Will any of the technological advances improve the welfare of the animals? The company declined to answer.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

In a story about New Zealand land being converted from livestock farms to forests, @reuters.com examines what fewer sheep means for farmers, shearers, truck drivers and rural communities. The only stakeholders missing from the story are the sheep themselves, who are treated as lost inventory.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

In an article about beef’s enormous climate footprint, @billmckibben.bsky.social of the @newyorker.com makes an important point that environmental reporting often misses: replacing #beef with #chicken may reduce emissions, but it means many more animals being killed.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

The @washingtonpost.com examines how Trump’s beef policies affect ranchers, consumers and voters. Ranchers have livelihoods. Consumers have grocery bills. And politicians have electoral considerations.

In a comprehensive article, @theguardian.com examines the potential impact of increased fish farming on ecosystems, food security and fishing communities, but not on the fish themselves. #TheGuardian - In your future coverage of the aquaculture industry, please note that fish are sentient too.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Humans introduced green crabs to New England, where they are now “invasive.” Yet, in this @apnews.com story, journalist Michael Casey treats the crabs as the guilty party - a problem to be eliminated and an opportunity to be monetized.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

This @labornotes.bsky.social article reports on the impact of a Tyson slaughterhouse closure on workers, families, ranchers, consumers, unions and the surrounding community. But one group profoundly affected by the meat company’s operations is conspicuously absent from consideration: the cattle.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

The @washingtonpost.com reports on Trump’s proposal to allow ranchers to bypass USDA-inspected slaughterhouses and process their own meat. This deregulation proposal could fundamentally change where and how cattle are slaughtered, yet the story doesn’t address how that might impact the animals.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Credit to @cbsnews.com for highlighting one of the most important benefits of cultivated meat: sparing animals. In its report on @missionbarns.bsky.social cell-cultivated pork, CBS describes how the technology could produce pork without raising, confining and slaughtering pigs.

The #BBC reports that giant tuna have returned to the North Sea after disappearing 60 years ago due, in large part, to overfishing. BBB: A wildlife comeback should be celebrated for the animals’ sake - not as an opportunity to catch the animals again, which is what the BBC has done.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

In a roughly 1,000-word @latimes.com article, agriculture reporter @ilenapeng.bsky.social reports that, as beef prices soar, Americans are replacing it with cheaper chicken.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

In a story about a proposed octopus farm in Spain, @theguardian.com does something mainstream media outlets rarely do when covering animals raised for food - consider the animals’ perspective. Thank you @stephenburgen.bsky.social for bringing animal sentience into the conversation about what we eat

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

The @bostonglobe.com devotes almost 2,500 words to the challenges faced Vermont’s #dairy industry, including plant closures and lost jobs. But, for all its detail, reporter Paul Heintz overlooks those most directly affected: the cows, who are victims of systemic abuse from birth until death.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

In an article entitled, "Why Nutritionists Say You Should Eat More Tinned Fish," a publication known for celebrating wild animals encourages its readers to eat them. #NatGeo - Your story, which reads like an advertisement for fish companies, makes no mention of animal sentience or marine ecosystems

Animal cruelty should not be a partisan issue, and this @kennytorrella.bsky.social article in @voxdotcom.bsky.social shows that increasingly, it isn’t. cc: @swatigauri.bsky.social @sfheuser.bsky.social

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Climate journalism shouldn’t stop at fossil fuels, but it almost always does. In a rare article connecting food systems to the climate, @newsweek.com says what the mainstream media so often does not: what we eat matters because animal ag is a "major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions."

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

According to this @nytimes.com headline, "The Chickens Were Doing Just Fine" before a heat wave in France killed millions of them. That is not true.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

CNBC attributes rising beef prices to drought-induced herd reductions, but reporter @bgomezreports.bsky.social leaves out important context: the beef industry is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, which increases the risk and severity of drought.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

Too often, media outlets repeat industry claims about "sustainable" dairy and "climate-smart" agriculture without examining whether those claims are backed by science.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Daily Mail - does a headline that prejudices your readers against @beyondmeatofficial.bsky.social before they’ve read the article (which tells a very different story) meet your editorial standards? @dailymail.co.uk

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

In an article about the USDA's plan to subsidize slaughterhouses, The Wall Street Journal omits crucial context -- the enormous costs the beef industry externalizes onto society.

The Washington @postopinions.bsky.social editors gave chef Bart Hutchins a platform to “humane wash” the force feeding of ducks for #foiegras. #WashingtonPost - shouldn’t you turn down op-ed submissions that misinform readers? cc: @unchainedtv.bsky.social

While media outlets typically center animal products as the default source of nutrition, the @washingtonpost.com helps correct the record by reporting that well-planned #plantbased diets can provide all the nourishment people need to thrive.

In yet another "veganism is dead" article, the @dailymail.co.uk delegitimizes #veganism by: 1. Treating the struggles of a few #vegan businesses as proof that an entire ethical movement is collapsing.

A @nypost.com article about a doctor who promotes #carnivore diets fails to disclose his commercial ties to meat businesses and his role as a meat influencer with millions of followers. #NYPost Readers deserve transparency and facts, not harmful meat industry talking points disguised as journalism.

In her @telegraph.co.uk article "The Miserable Reality of a Plant-based Society,” columnist Annabel Denham fabricates threats that don’t exist, such as a ban on meat, to justify her hit piece on #veganism.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

As #plantbased burgers gained mainstream popularity in the mid-2010s, the meat industry poured millions into PR & advertising to vilify them.

In a 1,700 article glorifying a leg "carver" in Spain, the @nytimes.com erases the victims at the center of the story - the #pigs who are exploited and slaughtered to make this barbaric craft possible. #NYTimes - why do you romanticize pig carving and omit fair balance from this story?

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 26/05/2026

This #unilad article about one tragic incident - that may or may not be related to a vitamin deficiency - portrays #plantbased diets as dangerous, which is categorically untrue. This is irresponsible journalism. cc: @ladbible.bsky.social @unchainedtv.bsky.social @veganftaofficial.bsky.social

Most vegans promote #plantbased eating by emphasizing its benefits to our health, the planet and animals. But according to @washingtonpost.com writer @mjcoren.bsky.social, that messaging is not enough.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

After #AnimalRights activists in California captured drone footage of animal abuse at a dairy farm certified by the American Humane Society, the @latimes.com published a story about the #AnimalCruelty and the humane certification program that protects the abusers.

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Readers of the @the-independent.com who don't look beyond the headline - “Low levels of poisonous toxins found in ‘almost all’ plant-based meat alternatives” - may wrongly conclude that #plantbased meats are dangerous and that animal meat doesn't contain the same toxins.

121

VegMediaWatch @vegmediawatch.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

A thoughtful article in the @thespectator1828.bsky.social is undermined by a derisive headline and subhead that misrepresent the intent of the story -- to inform readers that the #dairy industry relies on practices that cause significant animal suffering.
