Yes? I think it might be more precise to say they support mixed markets than free markets. I think they'll entertain some more left wing ideas like UBI, but their ideology is fundamentally market based. NPR I know for two reasons, they're one of the American news organisations pushing for the Iraq war the absolute least, and their economic stuff. I keep hearing how NPR is filled with deranged bash the fash marxists but I actually have never actually seen these people. Maybe their columns aren't as popular as the more mainstream columns at NPR.

I genuinely appreciate your thoughtfulness and this discourse. My view of NPR is so different from yours I don’t think we could have a productive conversation here, but I’m not kidding when I say I love the fact that you pursued it so civilly. Thank you. My contact information is in my profile and if you ever visited the Seattle area I would be only too happy to buy you lunch and discuss these matters in a friendly environment.

  In summary, we have heard a few reasonable arguments for why NPR is fairly decent and a few unsubstained rhethorical questions and a very civil withdrawal from the other side. Are you sure your beliefs about NPR / free markets are falsifiable? What would convince you to change your mind on NPR?
