#1311 - Dirk Cameron Gibson

Dirk Cameron Gibson has long been a national expert on product recalls. With the publication of six books on serial murderers he also has become an expert source for print and broadcast media on the rhetorical and mass communication dimensions of serial killers. Dirk is the author of "The Most Feared Man In America" a biography of J. Edgar Hoover which documents the existence of two political myths about Hoover. One is a God myth, which was created intentionally by a long-standing FBI public relations campaign. The other myth is a Devil myth that emerged in reaction to the God myth. Both of these mythic perceptions are unidimensional stereotypical depictions of the man, which obscure the reality of the former FBI director.
