I thought the BBC was a non-profit tax-funded government organization?
They are but they call the tax a license fee and they tell the gov to fuck off.
Doubtful. Top Gear has existed in some form or another for decades. I'll grant you the current incarnation is firmly anchored around Jezza, but this isn't much of a death sentence for the show.
Top Gear was just another boring car show until Clarkson and a different producer (Andy Wilson I think his name is) reinvented it into it's current form, without him that's what it will go back to and we don't need another fifth gear. Considering it's had a ton of spin offs in different countries and they have all died a death. Is Top Gear USA still on, and if so does it still suck? There's something about these three that make the show work so well which would be obviously lacking with three different blokes.
and that's bad, why?
In the politically correct mess that is the BBC Clarkson might've well has stabbed this guy in the eye, pissed on his mothers corpse, killed his dog and burned down his favourite coffee shop for the difference it'd make.

They're calling it the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" to feed a bullshit persecution complex, while enshrining their hateful nonsense into law. If you can refuse business to gays because your religion says so, then you can refuse business to anyone, and that's bullshit.
Which is why all affected business owners who disagree with this act should refuse service to Christians. Freedom is two way street. See how they like being discriminated against legally, by the same measures they put in to legally discriminate you.
Doing business with whomever one wants, while denying to do so to others on whatever whim, is a fundamental tenet of freedom
Which is the exact line this gen con should use should Indianapolis start moaning.
So providers should provide broadband as a charity?
See, the thing about poor people is, they're broke and so make poor customers.
No, it should be provided as a utility you dumb fuck. Available to all and not a complete rip off.
It doesn't seem to have hurt this site. Not even doing it poorly.
Yeah, but this site doesn't need to be on Apple's good side to get information,
You imply apple give different information to each reporter, they don't. they make an announcement with very few pieces of actual information and every apple shill goes and writes 1000 words on it. All of them saying the same basic exact same thing surrounded by fluff.
So what?
The "climate of fear" even affects journalists, who face not only stonewalling from Apple after negative reporting
So a journalist becomes persona non grata with Apple, can't get information about The New Big Thing until long after their competitors have published articles about it, so they get a reputation for being slow to publish about new stuff and probably end up with a reputation for recycling other peoples information because they can't get anything from Apple.
I get what you mean, in the long run that attitude will only harm Apple, but in the short term it'll require a bunch of journalists who aren't concerned about falling behind their competitors.
Bullshit, in that regard a reporter might not get invited to apple events, but that doesn't stop them reporting on real actual news, such as the winner of Bumsville, Idaho Annual Pie eating contest or just reading what all the apple approved writers put down, rewording and posting with a ten minute lag.
Claiming that killing people saves lives is delusional to the point of insanity. Unfortunately this insanity is alive and well, though today we claim "we must kill all the Muslims to get peace" instead of those "dirty Japs".
It's not though. The harsh facts are dropping the nukes resulted in far fewer casualties than would have been suffered through invasion and the war ending sooner than it would have had Japan been traditionally combated. The battle for Japan would have dwarfed anything previous and would likely never be topped. The invasion itself would have made D-day look like a gentle stroll in the park with more people dead in the first day than though all victims of the nukes combined. Any one who thinks Japan would have surrendered is delusional and would probably say the same about America facing invasion. What do you think would happen if America were invaded, would they surrender? I really really really doubt it.
Also, only nutters say we should kill all Muslims. We are not at war with them nor intending a massive invasion of their lands.

Not on their own they can't.
