According to this article on Yahoo, a telephone poll was taken of 1000 people. All the article reports is that 21 per cent would pay to see Osama Bin Laden executed and 37 per cent said that executions should not be televised. From this limited information it cannot be concluded that two thirds think executions should be on television. If someone can find the questions asked and the responses, it would be interesting. However, at this point, the conclusions in the initial post cannot be substantiated.
