Anecdotally speaking, it feels like the following parties get a disproportionate amount of media coverage (where "disproportionate" merely means large compared to the proportion of the vote they get rather than a moral judgement), especially in international media or media for non hard-core nerds: National Front (France), AfD (Germany), Golden Dawn (Greece), UKIP (UK), the Party for Freedom (Netherlands), Freedom Party of Austria, and One Nation and also Clive Palmer (Australia). I'd also list Donald Trump in the USA, Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil, or the governing parties in Poland or Hungary, or Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, but at least they're in the government. I'm not sure whether far-right and/or populist would be a accurate description for all of them, or maybe merely parties that may be on the receiving end of a [cordon sanitaire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordon_sanitaire_(politics)), but their ability to gather media coverage seems similar.

Do far-right parties get a disproportionate amount of media coverage, and if so, why is that the case? Is it only from media organisations that are secretly in league with far-right politics, or even from those that don't support such politics?
