"Our modern revelation may be a depressing revelation, but at least it is a demythologizing revelation. If the world is terrible, at least we know that our fathers were fools to think otherwise, and that everything they believed and cherished was a lie, or at best superstition" (Hilary Putnam, Human Face, p.136).
"If we believe in the creative effect of contact and collision, connection and exchange, then we require a medium, a way of writing which will live with the impact and conflict of communication between ideas" (Myerson, Rhetoric, Reason and Society, 1994:4).

I don't know if anyone made a connection between this family, the McMartin's, and the community at large. The media demonized them because they were an easy target. It is my understanding that they were "Christian Scientists" living among uninformed "fundamentalist, bible-preaching" fanatics. You cannot reason with fanatics because they don't listen. It was unbelievable how the good name and honor of a family were destroyed by the evil lies of a depraved alcoholic. Some system of justice!
