Rav Goren is not a Rabbinic authority to the Charedi public, mainly due to the Charedi media’s blatant disrespect and slander as well as Satmar – who essentially called him the devil incarnate. But say I mentioned Rav Kook or other world-class RZ Rabbonim, would you say the same thing, that they aren’t authorities, and only Charedi Rabbonim count?

Wrong . Sorry but wrong . Goren is not a rabbinic authority to the charedi public , not because of a supposed “Charedi media’s blatant disrespect and slander and satmers calling him the devil incarnate”.
No.
The reason why he is not a rabbinic authority is because a signed and widely publicised psak that goren is not a rav and that all his halachik decisions are invalid .
This psak was signed by rav elyashiv, rav shlomo zalman auerbach , rav yaakov yisrael kanievsky , rav shach and rav chaim shmulevits .
This psak was supported by rav moshe feinstein and rav yaakov kamenetski
I do not know any other orthodox person who merited such a public statement from such a wall to wall list of august personalities about their specific persona
rav kuk, although controversial , was admired and respected by rav elyashiv and rav auerbach
one can state unequivocally the following :
the rov minyan and the rov binyan of orthodoxy rejected goren as a rav .
