Many crazy killers, when interviewed, mention the thrill of seeing their crimes reported widely on TV and in the papers. Some of them keep scrapbooks of news reports.

I hate the idea that we play into that, and I've never been much of a fan of pandering to low public tastes. On the other hand, I would never tell people what to watch. The most I would do is say I don't like programs that have no educational or aesthetic value. To use Neo's system, it seems morally wrong to me to waste room in the brain with schlock, when you could be filling that space with good classical stuff. But I recognize that this is my subjective elitist view :-) I wouldn't make it a law or anything, except for my kids.
