Abstract

Highlights: Countermedia are partisan media that oppose conventional media and the establishment. The Finnish right-wing populist countermedia, WTF, has a distinct discursive style. This style emphasizes crisis and threat resulting from immigration. In the Finnish Parliament, a similar style is used most by Finns Party politicians.
