Murder mysteries on television Options

Mhm, excuse me if this topic has been made before. I haven't been in debate lately.

Well, you see on Court TV and some other television programs that they show murder mysteries. If you don't know, then it's like a show where they tell you about some really big murder case and how they solved who killed who.
This question came up in my mind a few days ago: Should those shows be cancelled?
In my thoughts, I think yes, it should.
Why?
Because the program tells you HOW the person murders that person and WHAT exactly they did. If a serial killer is watching this, it could create some very brilliant ideas for them.
But the police solved this kind of murder already. What's the point of a killer copying what they saw on TV about a crime?
Well, chances are, they could watch more than one and then figure out a greater way to kill someone. >.> It's a possibility.

TV is wonderful medium for exploration of your own mind. I'm sure a deranged sociopath living in the basement of his mother's backwoods home understands this as well. The difference between he and I, is that I'm not emotionally and mentally unstable so an episode of Law & Order in which the killer is effectively and intelligently targeting his victims would do nothing to my psyche. Where as this crazy mutha in the backwoods would light up like a pagan fertility symbol (I mean, Christmas tree) and go on a killing spree and, quite possibly, get away with dozens of murders or rapes.

What's my point? It further adds to the dreck of television and the media in general. Just as a 12 year old girl can see Britney Spears giving a lapdance in a music video and get an ingenius idea to perform fellatio under the stairs after school, a religious fanatic can watch CNN and decide to construct a car bomb to kill those of another religion.

Should they be taken off the airwaves? Hell NyesO. Take them off the air and violate our rights or leave them on and violate our minds. Suck on that pro-choice.
