Yes, like the Univision presenter fired over the Michelle Obama comment
Yes, like this issue with Clarkson, there was no need to fire him
Yes, like the Honey Boo Boo show being cancelled
Yes, and it's all the fault of the liberals, damn them to hell and back!
No, in cases of possible racism firing is appropriate
No, Clarkson was fired for the right reasons, violence against a producer. Violence is unacceptable.
No, like in the Honey Boo Boo case they did it for the right reasons
No, this is not the liberals but the right of companies to protect their image.
Top what? Honey who? Univision what? I did not watch these shows and who cares.
other ........... (please explain)

Remember the episode where they were only allowed factual information to be given out if they were allowed to work in the country?
Do you really think the US would allow them to come in and film a similar show that is being filmed right now?
I don't think Ashton Kutcher knows enough about cars to take over that show.
I definitely have to laugh at those three being described as an excellent trio.
Well, there's always Dr. Who.

Obama is a clown in blackface. Oops! I misspoke. My bad.
"The US" has no say, they can come here and film anything they want to film and "the US" can do nothing about it. The United States has nothing to do with what is filmed for television.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide the world that cannot be achieved more rationally through entirely secular means.
Blog me! YouTube me! SpkOut me!
Which, under Steven Moffat, is utter crap.

The BBC will try - success will depend on the new partnership brought in as James May has made it clear the presenters are part of a package with Clarkson so ruling himself out of staying.
Top Gear existed before Clarkson and when he became a presenter there it was a dull factual show focused on reviewing cars. Clarkson and his producer together made changes that made the show popular. The shows is now a comedy show with a bit of car review dotted here and there.
That's the challenge - make a car review show more about reviewing cars (and thus dull) or focus on the satire and interpersonal side of the show which seems to have appealed worldwide.
That said - Top Gear was never popular enough in the UK (even under Clarkson) to make it to BBC1. It's one of those strange phenomena where the show is more popular overseas than at home. If Clarkson goes to commercial telly, the name "Top Gear" stays with the BBC unless it is bought by commercial TV.
I don't see how someone being fired for physically attacking a co-worker falls under the "political correctness" label.
Freedom of speech is not freedom from criticism.

More like the Three Stooges - never liked the show at all.

Contrary to how things work on the illegal side of things, a non citizen has to have a work permit to work in the US.
I don't know if Clarkson or the other 2 would be given the work permits as there are Americans that can do that same work.
