Take the American Red Cross. The aid organization is a popular vehicle for post-disaster donations, but an investigation published this week by ProPublica and NPR found that the organization managed to massively misuse $500 million dollars in its Haiti relief funds. You would of course never know that from the organization’s promotional materials, which were almost comically out-of-sync with the organizations’s actual reality on the ground.
