Abstract

This study examines how Czech populist radical right politician Tomio Okamura frames the news media on Facebook, focusing on accusations of untruthfulness, portrayals as an information source and depictions as a communication arena. Analysing 1,740 claims (2013–2020) through quantitative claims analysis, it highlights how affinity with alternative news media, strategic party positioning and crises (refugees, COVID-19) shaped Okamura’s framing of the news media. The findings underscore the role of news media as both adversaries and tools in populist radical right communication, providing insights into strategies in a media environment shaped by a mix of media ownership structures and political influences.
