Media Talk: James Murdoch returns to the select committee

Four months on from his first appearance in front of MPs, and after a bladder-testing two-and-a-half-hours in a cramped committee room at Portcullis House – James Murdoch was back giving more evidence about what he knew and when while all those naughty things were going on at the News of the World.

Hugh Muir's in the presenter's chair for this edition of Media Talk, and he's joined by Alan Rusbridger, Roy Greenslade and Vanity Fair's Sarah Ellison to analyse Murdoch Jr's tricky return visit.

Did his account ring true? Is he guilty of mismanagement or something worse? And if he's not the one telling porkies – who is?

As ever, have a listen and post your feedback on the blog below. And if you haven't yet read Sarah Ellison piece in this month's Vanity Fair, what are you waiting for?
