There’s a big difference between supporting capital punishment as a tool of justice & supporting capital punishment as fodder for trash TV entertainment shows.

Showing the consequences of evil is not trash TV, it is education. In our society we try hard to hide (and hide from) consequences. Which is why our society is corkscrewing to the ground, as we try to ignore consequences.

Trash TV is Survivor and Celebrity Apprentice.

I disagree. It is a hit show because the Chinese see this as perverse entertainment which trivializes life. They, and we are already aware that capital punishment exists. What more education is needed?
