The difference between me and the complainant:

I don't work for a massive news organization. NBCUniversal owns a broadcast network. Broadcast spectrum is held in public trust, with monopolies on access to that spectrum granted to a limited number of parties.

To my mind, this makes their executives publicly accountable. Y'want your fat media exec salary? This is a cost of doing business.

And let's be clear: this guy's work email was shared. Not his phone number, not his home address.
