What about the license fee prevent the control by the government? The money goes through the government, and government chooses who pays and how much, so it's pretty close to as if the government was "paying" it directly.
Poland, as mentioned by a sibling, is a counter-example.
How does the license fee prevent the propaganda?
- IAmEveryone 5y agoIt works by setting a license fee by law and making it hard enough / take long enough to change to make it impossible to punish or reward journalists for their work. This could mean requiring 2/3 majorities for anything but a default adjustment for inflation. Or a 10-year lag for any budget changes, etc.
