There's a corollary: Even lithe answer is no do the broadcast networks have a civic responsibility to present both parties' formal positions even if that forum is little more than an extended political ad? "My own strong feeling about conventions in recent cycles unfortunately is that the participants have become Kabuki dancers" said NBC anchor Tom Brokaw at the recent Television Critics Association Press Tour "There is less than meets the eye" at the conventions said Brokaw who is slated to retire Dec 1 "They're very ritualistic now Very little happens that is spontaneous — or indeed newsworthy" These are anxious days for journalism : and the country The top three issues — the war in Iraq the larger war on terrorism and of the economy — come with knotty subsidiary debates over health CBS -- tial contest - ' st- 1 Inee Channel Y t Pt Adams-Jefferso- news-generatin- group Papa Roach which forged a niche among the masses of bands in that genre -with its debut West" is on tour in preparation for a new album including a stop in Salt Lake City with Instruction and Dead Poetic opening The show is at In the Venue 219 S 600 West at 7 pm Tickets are $12 available at all Smith's 'rix outlets and 24Tixcom Cali-base- care gay marriage the future of Social Security and the like All of them are projected through the prism of an upcoming election in a divided country And this year's election debate is n fierce with results that can be less than productive But there's no denying that the nation is more engaged in the process of this first post-91presiden- MeGm RE illitaily Times Union Papa Itoach at In the Venue A Horror) TV-P- (CC) boy finds a burial I Crossing OverJohn Edward 9403114 Tactical to Practical Sailboat designs traveling across Tech Effect Pearl Harbrx" snow "TV-(CC) 3804911 (CC) 1189640 The 'twilight Zone 'Stahe (CC) 5154331 n Call 9672973 Mall TV-P- (CC) I 1 I 2004 World Series ol Poker From Las Vegas 352027 Las Vegas (N) 2004 World Series of ESPN Pokerturlm ATP ESPN 2 ISKA Tennis: Tennis Series Canada - - Kl Spike F" - itiimin9 TuebsodizjityaglitTF1114s-REa- (Live) (CC) 332263 Lhies c)h8(crrci SportaCenta Streelbell (N) (CC) ESPN2i Who's No 589379 1 Top three coaches: Mike Dean Smith and Scotty Bowman (N) Outside Magazine 233089 Outside Magazine 245824 Outside Magazine 339737 Outside Magazine 3321124 617027 Outside Magazine 852390 1Krzyzewski FOX SPORTS ky ML13 Baseball Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Roams FroiCoors ield in Denver (Subject to Blackout) (Live) 430244 Rocky Mountain Sports Report (Live) 19260 I Max 27006 Sports Show Period "B" -- 't-- (Live) (CC) sffitieetba:58)(N)(cdec)the vs:Antonio Ramirez Edna Cherry battles Antonio Ramirez in a r kive10:1)7)(cBasebelic) ) putslide Magazine U3553 OUTDOOR dr (N)1SportsCenter L r Ede AMC —"Ieveity Hills Cop" (1984) Murphy 'R' 9177069 "Bingo" (1991) Cindy Williams 010) Movie: ?G LIHBO pc) 3067824 Movie: "Divedevir superhero by night !
