Corrections First:

• It's not King Phillips War (that's earlier) it was King Williams War that is believed to have kicked off Salem. That idea is outlined in the book In The Devil's Snare, which I have linked below

• The bad journalist was not Robert McCormick, it was Donald McCormick, link below
