Satanic Panic on Oprah
This chapter analyzes a controversial segment from an older Oprah show featuring a guest recounting her family's alleged involvement in satanic worship and ritualistic abuse. The discussion critiques the media's sensationalism surrounding dark themes, such as baby sacrifices, and explores the ethical implications of airing such claims.
