Russian Acts of Kindness

[Alina Israeli]

Those were probably ten year old figures, because

The combined income of Reporters Without Borders and Reporters Without  
Borders International in 2008 was €4,874,443 and expenditure  
€5,003,261, making a deficit of €128,818. (http://en.rsf.org/income-and-expenditure-07-09-2009,34401 
)

Now the comparison with CNN salaries makes no sense at all. It's like  
saying, "How can you produce a decent film with a budget smaller than  
Angelina Jolie's pay per picture?"

For example "Fargo" was made with a budget of $7 million, while Angie  
gets $15 million per picture (or something like that).
