To be meaningful, we'd need to compare the ratio of conservative economists on NPR to conservative economists in the population.
The empirical evidence shows that, for example, NPR is more likely to interview a conservative economist about a story than a liberal. I think they go out of their way to defer to right-of-center politicians because they are so afraid of the perception that they're liberal.
In short, I think you're wrong.
