No it isn't. I firmly believe that if the government is gonna condone an execution, they should HAVE to show it on TV. Maybe if more people saw the barbarism that is legalized murder, they'd get tired of it, and demand that we put a stop to it.
That's the same reason we absolutely SHOULD show the destroyed bodies of our dead soldiers. Sure, it's shocking and very uncomfortable to watch. But maybe if people saw that every damn day on the TV they wouldn't be so eager to support getting into another war. I'm willing to sacrifice the supposed dignity of a few dead people in order to save thousands of lives.
