This is a great in-depth look at U.S. schools today. Unfortunately, it's also frightening. The reporter has some really interesting ways of looking at the topic, and it really makes you think about things from a different perspective.
this stuff is pretty good

Cyberbullying great for parents and educators

After the "Cyberbullying" show had aired a few months ago, I tried to find a copy of it online somewhere. I was thrilled to see that ABC News has put it up on the store, because I feel like anyone who works with middle and high schoolers could use this personal education on the digital manipulation that takes place among adolescents. I am a school counselor that is just recently out of school, so I am more aware of some of the tricks students use. However, my colleagues who are not so technologically advanced were excited to learn what to look for, and any parent should know the signs of cyberbullying. Great program that hits home for today's youth.
whoa!! great subject. very informative. unbelieveable statistics

Come on ABC, low res downloads?! Some of the topics are interesting and I did download two shows but was really let down when I realized they were low res files. If I wanted a fuzzy small picture I would wrap my TV in plastic wrap and watch it standing in the street with toy binoculars. Get on board folks.
Take any John Stossel episode with a box of salt

Viewers please keep in mind that John Stossel is no more than the newest version of Geraldo. He shapes his programs (and books) on his own preconceived notions. I'm sure Fox news will latch onto him as soon as his act wears thin with ABC. Most of these specials are very informative and entertaining. ABC News does a great job, especially when their reporters report without spin. My personal favorite of these is Death and Life at 18,000 Feet.
not what i thought

i purchased "The Anatomy of Grey's Anatomy" after watching the preview which shows Shonda discussing the show and i thought it was a special on the show grey;s anatomy and it would includ echaracter and actor information with behind the scenes access, etc. not quite. there is a bit of that but the special really shows 3 real life cases that where used as examples for cases on grey's anatomy. if u are a crazy die hard grey's fan, u may like this but i was dissappointed. not what i thought i was buying. very loosely based on grey's anatomy, more about actual medical stories.
very cool

I missed this when it was on. Now I can have it on my iPod! Over an hour of video for only $2.00. Thanks Apple!
Where else could you find this??

As someone who enjoys keeping up with current events I enjoyed being able to watch news storys live as they were unfolding back before I was even born! I downloaded the Robert Kennedy story and thought it was very interesting to see the news reports from the day it happened. This is raw, uncut, unedited news coverage and definately a part of history in itself. If you want to find out how major news storys of our time or before went down then I would definately suggest this series!!!
