Why is the death penalty a non-view event when it could be assessible to all by cable?

1 Answer

Answer :

I agree that it shouldn’t be shied away from- especially if one supports it. However, showing it on television would violate a few laws. So to get around those it would have to be either a pay per view or online showing. Pay per view would still fall under the FCC rules but no one would see it by accident. Yet, where would the money go? Who gets to profit from this death? Online would be the most likely way but it really wouldn’t work because the killing is by a government entity so even trying to broadcast it- even on the web- would cause a shitstorm the likes we haven’t seen in years. Then the fact that we live in a litigious society means someone, even if they paid to see it, and was disturbed by it could sue for pain and suffering. Like I said, I agree that if we really do support it then we should watch it and witness it for what it is. I just don’t see how it will happen with the way our communication and broadcasting system is set up.
