This book examines the "satanic panic" of the 1980s as an essential
part of the growing relationship between tabloid media and American
conservative politics in the 1980s. It argues that widespread fears
of Satanism in a range of cultural institutions was indispensable
to the development and success of both infotainment, or tabloid
content on television, and the rise of the New Right, a
conservative political movement that was heavily guided by a
growing coalition of influential televangelists, or evangelical
preachers on television. It takes as its particular focus the
hundreds of accusations that devil-worshippers were operating
America's white middle-class suburban daycare centers. Dozens of
communities around the country became embroiled in trials against
center owners, the most publicized of which was the McMartin
Preschool trial in Manhattan Beach, California. It remains the
longest and most expensive criminal trial in the nation's history.
