Nearly all of their shows have a conservative bias. Repeated surveys through the years show that for guests, commentators and voices heard conservatives outnumber progressives almost two to one on NPR. Republicans outnumber Democrats no matter who controls Congress and who controls the presidency. Because NPR speaks for the educated class and is not socially conservative they have a reputation of being liberal. They are not, they are the educated Republicans. NPR is really an acronym for Nice Polite Republicans. Marketplace is only the most pro mega-business of the National Public Radio shows. Nearly all of their shows have a conservative bias.

I once saw a protester holding up a sign saying, "Hey Monsanto, how's about knocking off some of that EVIL?" And evil they are. So if Monsanto wanted to hurt NPR, couldn't it have done so most cheaply by simply announcing it supports Marketplace? I wouldn't put it past them.
