I think this line's mostly filler.

What's amazing about this? A subsidiary of a big company ran some projects using stimulus money? Did they do the things they got the grants for?

I guess the "NBC" mention is to bring up the "GE owns NBC which owns MSNBC which employs Olbermann and Maddow, who are liberal!" angle, but the article says the money went to the "Global Research Center". A generic name, but I'd guess it isn't part of NBC.

You didn't quote the most damning bit in the article, where GE kept outsourcing while accepting stimulus funds. Unfortunately, to get rid of tax incentives for outsourcing, we'd have to get rid of the legislators who most vociferously decry the stimulus.
