This document records Tom Phillips and Alan White discussing the BuzzFeed/CEN investigation at a point when the reporting appears to have reached an uncertain stage, with Craig Silverman being treated as the key outside figure who could help verify or assess the alleged fake-news examples. The document is significant because it suggests that BuzzFeed’s own editorial team had not yet developed a clear route for proving the central claims against CEN and that Silverman’s involvement was being relied on as a way to give the investigation structure, credibility and verification weight. It should be read alongside later Craig Silverman material, Emergent-related documents and BuzzFeed/CEN evidence-tracking files, because it helps document how the investigation moved from internal uncertainty into a methodology based heavily on outside debunking, online verification and truthiness-style classification rather than direct reporting from the original sources involved.
