Of course, this is completely different from a 'typical" execution of a convicted murderer, but I think executions should be covered on live TV. We have movies that glorify violence and killing, but an exposed nipple fines a network thousands of dollars? Let's broadcast all executions live, so we can see what real death looks like. Fox News can be the vanguard of this new level of "reality TV." My undergraduate degree is in Criminal Justice, and I did my senior paper on the “deterrence” aspect of executions.
