Political donation records suggest that this may not be true of NBC.

Comcast's employee donations

show $200K to Obama; $20K to Romney.

GE affiliates employee donations
http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/affiliates.php?id=D000000125&type=P&cycle=A
show that the three biggest-donating divisions of NBC gave 93%, 72%, and 
85% of their donations to Democratic candidates.

Also, GE CEO Jeff Immelt joined the President's Council of Economic 
Advisors in January.
