Nobody should be telling or asking NBC to do anything that is against its own business needs.

Without presuming to know what you think, I suspect you don't actually think nobody should be telling or asking corporations to do things that are against their own business needs. Even the most hyper-libertarian laissez-faire activist (I'm not accusing you of being such ) would agree that everyone has the right to petition and organize and boycott corporations in order to get them to change their behaviors.
