Bush's War Media Bias And Justifications for War in a Terrorist Age

While many books have offered a take on the attacks of 9/11, one area has been comparatively ignored: presidential justifications for war in the age of terrorism. Specifically, what did President Bush say to justify American military actions in the post 9/11 world? And how did the public hear what he said, especially as it was filtered through the news media? The eloquent and thoughtful Bush's War shows how public perception of what the president says is shaped by media bias. Jim A. Kuypers compares Bush's statements with press coverage, arguing that the nature of American public knowledge concerning our role in the world has been changed not by 9/11, but by the subsequent argumentative back-and-forth between Bush and the press.Kuypers, Jim A. is the author of 'Bush's War Media Bias And Justifications for War in a Terrorist Age', published 2006 under ISBN 9780742536531 and ISBN 074253653X.
