Tom Phillips Game Of Thrones Post Shows BuzzFeed UK’s Anti-MailOnline Tone

This archived screenshot preserves Tom Phillips’s BuzzFeed post titled “Game Of Thrones As Told By The Daily Mail Sidebar Of Shame”, a BuzzFeed UK item mocking the language and presentation style associated with MailOnline’s celebrity and sidebar coverage. The screenshot is significant because it forms part of the wider evidence trail showing BuzzFeed UK’s repeated public targeting of MailOnline before and during the later BuzzFeed/CEN investigation, in which MailOnline’s use of CEN material formed part of the background. The item matters because Phillips was one of the key BuzzFeed figures involved in developing the CEN story, and the wider record shows him bringing an explicitly anti-tabloid posture to BuzzFeed’s UK operation. Read alongside the other BuzzFeed/MailOnline screenshots, this item helps document that BuzzFeed’s later criticism of CEN and its viral news supply chain sat within an existing editorial culture of mocking and attacking MailOnline, rather than emerging from a neutral position in the British online news market.
