OPPORTUNITIES SEEN FOR RURAL AMERICA

Thomas Dorr, U.S. Agriculture Department undersecretary for rural development, predicts a bright future for rural America if it can take advantage of three things: broadband Internet, $100-a-barrel oil and expanding capitalism in Europe and Asia. He said expanding broadband means companies can operate from almost anywhere, while rising oil prices will increase demand for crops used for biofuel.

More Than 60% Don't Trust Campaign Coverage
MORE THAN 60% DON'T TRUST CAMPAIGN COVERAGE
Nearly two-thirds of Americans do not trust press coverage of the 2008 presidential campaign, according to a new Harvard University survey, which also revealed four out of five people believe coverage focuses too much on the trivial -- and more than 60% believe coverage is politically biased. The findings were among those in Harvard's Center for Public Leadership National Leadership Index. When asked if election coverage was politically biased, 40% believed it was too liberal; 21% too conservative; and 30% found it neutral. Nine percent of those responding were not sure. Among the findings: 64% of those polled do not trust press coverage of the presidential campaign. 88% believe that campaign coverage focuses on trivial issues. 84% believe that media coverage has too much influence on American voting choices. 92% say it is important that the news media provide information on candidates' specific policy plans, but 61% say the media does not provide enough coverage of policy plans. 89% say it is important to hear about candidates' personal values and ethics, but 43% say there is not enough coverage of personal values and ethics. Seventy percent of those polled said coverage of negative ads was not important and 65% said the media provided too much coverage of them; 67% say that coverage of "gotcha" moments -- candidates' embarrassing incidents and mistakes—was not important and 68% say there was too much coverage of those moments.
