"What are your thoughts about public broadcasting in the wake of budget cuts, threats of more governmental oversight and efforts to influence programming decisions at National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)?"

Answer 1

english is my native tounge and im having a hard time understanding it. srry :(  

Answer 2

I dont know what your first language is but hopefully this helps:

Ok it is about  public broadcasting  ( free tv or free radio - does not cost people money to watch or listen)

PBS is a tv one and NPR is a radio one

recently they have not gotten as much money as they have in the past and the government might start telling them more about what they can and cannot talk about

it is asking what you think about that

hope it helped

Answer 3

What do you think about public broadcasting since the budget cuts, and the authorities saying that they will be paying attention to it and try to influence what programs are on the National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service?

The Public Broadcasting Service is what a lot of people call the educational channel.

I hope this helps.
