It's about ethics in car journalism.

Agreed. At the most defensive I could be for Clarkson, it's a response to the paedophile scandal that's scared the BBC, they're not about to defend someone just because he's popular ever again.

I've come to believe (and I may be wrong), that all art is about communication, it's the artist communicating an idea to their audience.
