Fact checking the cranks
When the facts aren’t on your side, and you’ve already been caught taking money from a plastic surgeon’s wife to run a hit job, what’s left? …If you’re Richard Luthmann, you reach for the bottom of the barrel. His latest output isn’t a legal analysis, it’s a homophobic temper tantrum designed to distract from his own failures.
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. He has some blogs. He gets paid to blog, to come up with narratives to whitewash the crimes of the wealthy … Read more
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. His latest target is whistleblower Danesh Noshirvan, but the “permanent victory” Parlato just toasted with his wealthy clients has already gone up in smoke.
Richard Luthmann has finally stopped pretending. In a move that signals the total collapse of his mental faculties, the disbarred felon has graduated from mere xenophobia to full-blown Aryan racial theory. When you’re being sued, apparently the next logical step is to start sounding like a 1930s eugenicist to prove you’re a nice guy. The … Read more
When you’re a disbarred felon involved in a high-stakes legal battle, apparently the only move left is blatant mischaracterization. Richard Luthmann’s latest “Mullah Simp” headline isn’t just legally illiterate; it’s a desperate, xenophobic hail-mary designed to distract from the fact that his actions are being scrutinized in federal court. The Anatomy of a Xenophobic Smear … Read more
Richard Luthmann is running out of legal arguments, so he’s reaching for the oldest play in the Right Wing Handbook: the Antifa boogeyman. His latest attempt to label Danesh Noshirvan an agitator is a desperate, fact-free smear designed to rile up a specific political base while ignoring the reality of Noshirvan’s work as a digital … Read more
Richard Luthmann wants you to think he is a crusading journalist, but he is actually just a mercenary with a mortgage. Court discovery has finally confirmed what everyone already suspected: Luthmann and his associate Frank Parlato were paid to harass Danesh Noshirvan. This wasn’t a search for the truth. It was a paid hit job.
Cortney Kotzian, the “Omaha Oracle,” built a following on the back of a terrifying stalking story. There is just one problem: the stalker was her. After Danesh exposed her for using sock-puppet accounts to harass herself, Kotzian pivoted from “victim” to “vandal,” launching a desperate smear campaign to save her brand before her March court … Read more
Richard Luthmann tried to play the journalist privilege card to hide his communications with the people paying for his hit jobs. The court didn’t buy it. You don’t get to claim First Amendment protections when you’re a disbarred felon acting as a mercenary for a plastic surgery office.
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.
