Contents:

News, opinion, and foreign policy -- Politics across the water's edge -- Elite rhetoric, media coverage, and rallying 'round the flag -- War meets the press : strategic media bias and elite foreign policy evaluations -- Shot by the messenger : an experimental examination of the effects of party cues on public opinion regarding national security and war -- Tidings of battle : polarizing media and public support for the Iraq War -- "Reality asserted itself" : the elasticity of reality and the war in Iraq -- Barbarians inside the gates : partisan new media and the polarization of American political discourse -- Back to the future : foreign policy in the second era of the partisan press.

Summary: How does the American public formulate its opinions about U.S. foreign policy and military engagement abroad? War Stories argues that the media systematically distort the information the public vitally needs to determine whether to support such initiatives, for reasons having more to do with journalists' professional interests than the merits of the policies, and that this has significant consequences for national security. Matthew Baum and Tim Groeling develop a "strategic bias" theory that explains the foreign-policy communication process as a three-way interaction among the press, political.
