> taxpayers need to contribute a fee (but not a tax, to avoid government interference)
The fee instead of tax isn't to avoid political interference. It's for fee stability, without cuts whenever the budget is tight.
Politicians/the government meddle all the time. The governing body of the public broadcasters has about a third of its members from the government (the rest is the churches and certain social and political associations).
