Abstract
This study applies Ball-Rokeach and DeFleur's (1976) media system dependency theory to the analysis of public opinion regarding the performance of the news media and the president before and after the September 11th attacks. Contrary to the "rally 'round the flag" effect, but consistent with system dependency theory, partisan differences become stronger predictors of presidential approval following the terrorist attacks.
