Whose interests do major news dailies serve when they report on policy debates in Congress? This study compares what members of the U.S. House of Representatives say about major policy with what is later reported in two news dailies: one liberal (Washington Post) and one conservative (Washington Times). The data include one-minute floor speeches by House members (168) and published stories—news and editorials—in the print media (117). Three high-profile policy initiatives of the 107th Congress (2001-2002) anchor the investigation: No Child Left Behind Act (HR 1), Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act (HR 1836), and Airport Security Act (S. 1447). The evidence shows a discrepancy in the perspectives between reporters and officeholders. Where news coverage stresses talk of the president and the process, lawmakers stress the problem and the stakes for the American people. When the debate breaks along party lines, news coverage shows a weak ideological bias that favors Democrats.

Argues for greater US congressional involvement in the war on terror as democratically legitimate & essential to long-term policy. Attention is given to the issue of executive power & the Bush administration's faltering position of executive power as an independent ideological agenda; executive discretion; the conceptualization of a comprehensive counterterrorism policy in terms of distinguishing between ordinary law & counterterrorism & institutional design; & values as a critical topic of congressional legislation.

"Owing to the unusual conditions prevailing during the war, the Southern Sociological Congress did not issue a report in 1916 and 1917. From the many papers read at the last three conventions, the editor has tried to select those which, combined in one volume would express the ideals and work that the Congress desires at present to emphasize."--Introd. note. ; Mode of access: Internet.
