Stanford prof exposed her $5000/hr consulting fee

How does the funding or political position of the Review invalidate the story told here? If you acknowlege that the facts are as laid out, is your objection that you disagree with who the good guys and bad guys are? Or do you think embarassing facts about the Stanford prof should have been suppressed?

This was discussed a few days ago [0] (I don't know if it's really HN material but it got some discussion). I mention this because I commented there siding provisionally with the "$5000/hour" consultant - this was per hour of workshop as I understand it, which with prep and support could trivially command such a rate. I am "right-wing" if you have to give labels, and I likely don't agree with the consulting professor's views. But that's certainly not a reason to feign outrage that she got what appears to be a normal market rate for her work. It's interesting (and discredits the magazine imo) to see them leading with the $5000 thing - it's what you'd expect from Fox News
