Abstract
This paper examines the media representations of scandalous parliamentary talk on same-sex child fostering in the
discourses of representatives of the radical-right Golden Dawn party in Greece, but also by an MP of the conservative ANEL party
of the SYRIZA-ANEL joint government at the time. Through discourse- and conversation analysis of online articles and a broadcast
interview, it is shown that the media framing of populist statements is negotiated. Moreover, the interview enacts a subtly
achieved interactional synergy between the interviewer and the politician, thus failing to address the issues through substantive
public dialogue. It is argued that the process of (re)mediating racist or homophobic talk has the potential to serve as a
publicity tool creating increased visibility for right-wing populist politicians, their core ideologies and policy platforms. This
creates a challenge for practitioners of journalism who must balance disparate concerns in reporting on scandalous talk.
