the voyeuristic televising of it and the lascivious hyping of it.

And the "Prisons We Love" programming is no better. MOST people know that prisons are harsh, but do they need to watch it every waking moment that MSNBC has no talking head spin-meister on?

That said, CBS and ABC are not much better. Their "Primetime" and CBS' version..and of course , "Dateline" wastes an hour a week on CRIMES Against Women ( for the most part) and rehashes of long-ago murder cases..

These "shows" are part of their news and current events divisions, and it kills me to see them waste those valuable hours.

Imagine if they spent an hour a week on government corruption and or the plight of schools, or the poor, the economy, or health care in America.
