Abstract

This study examines netizen opinion on corruption-related news in Indonesian social media, focusing on how sentiment, issue framing, and engagement patterns shape digital public discourse. The research aims to analyze how users respond to corruption narratives and to identify dominant patterns of opinion expression in online environments. Using a quantitative content analysis approach combined with computational sentiment analysis, the study analyzes 149 social media mentions collected through an automated analytics platform. The methodology integrates sentiment classification, keyword mapping, and engagement metrics to provide a comprehensive understanding of discourse dynamics. The results indicate that negative sentiment dominates the discourse, accounting for more than half of the total mentions, followed by neutral and positive sentiments. Keyword analysis reveals that discussions are primarily framed around legal and economic issues, including prosecution processes, state financial losses, and institutional accountability. Engagement patterns show that emotionally charged content, particularly negative narratives, tends to generate higher levels of interaction across platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. These findings suggest that social media functions as a hybrid public sphere where informational and affective elements interact to shape public opinion. The study highlights the importance of digital platforms in influencing public perceptions of corruption and institutional trust. By combining computational analysis with theoretical insights, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of digital public opinion formation and offers implications for media, policymakers, and scholars interested in corruption communication.

Abstract

This study examines how the antek asing (“foreign lackey”) narrative operates as a digital political delegitimization system in contemporary Indonesian political communication, focusing on discourse surrounding Prabowo Subianto. Using an integrated mixed-method design, the study combines framing analysis, social network analysis, and knowledge graph retrieval-augmented generation to analyze a multi-source corpus of 340 YouTube videos from 131 channels, 609 political discussion transcript segments, and seven web-based sources. The analysis examines narrative clusters, actor–claim relations, framing competition, and diffusion structures across Indonesia’s hybrid media ecosystem. The findings show that the antek asing discourse functions not as isolated rhetoric, but as a structured delegitimization repertoire organized through accusation escalation, symbolic enemy construction, and distributed amplification. Five framing types emerged: pro-narrative, critical, analytical, clarification, and neutral amplification. Neutral amplification dominated circulation volume, while analytical and clarification-oriented frames showed high engagement efficiency. The narrative also escalated from “foreign lackey” labeling toward betrayal frames, producing fragmented but interconnected communities of accusation and critique. The study contributes to debates on digital populism, information integrity, and political delegitimization by showing how foreign-threat rhetoric becomes a relational and platform-mediated system of contested legitimacy.
