Press Gazette Records CEN’s 126-Page Response To BuzzFeed Allegations

This archived screenshot preserves a Press Gazette report headlined “Agency condemned as ‘King of Bullsh*t News’ by BuzzFeed hits back with 126-page defence”, published after CEN spent several weeks researching and responding to BuzzFeed’s allegations. The screenshot is significant because it records an early public stage in the dispute: CEN had taken the BuzzFeed article apart in a substantial written response, examining the allegations, possible motivation and wider context behind the attack, but the BuzzFeed story remained online and uncorrected. The item helps document the chronology between publication of the BuzzFeed article and the later court case, showing that CEN first attempted to answer the allegations publicly through Press Gazette and a detailed 126-page rebuttal before the unresolved dispute escalated into litigation.
