Fact checking the cranks
Frank Parlato loves to play the role of the crusading truth-teller, the sage investigative journalist. But when you look closer you see the wrinkles and liver spots in the facade. Frank is a blogger.

Frank Parlato wants you to believe he is an investigative journalist. He is not. He is a high-priced mouthpiece for people caught on camera doing the indefensible.

Richard Luthmann is now talking to ghosts. His latest victory lap involves a “legal expert” named Rick LaRiviere who doesn’t exist and a court order that doesn’t say what Luthmann claims. When you are a disbarred felon, I suppose making up friends is the only way to get a second opinion.
