Media Talk USA: Google, Murdoch and Oprah

Jeff Jarvis is joined by two leading media figures for the December edition of the podcast. Baratunde Thurston is web and politics editor of The Onion and Laura Walker is president and CEO of WNYC radio in New York.

We look at the ongoing battle between Rupert Murdoch and Google – and we get reaction from web queen Arianna Huffington, creator of the Huffington Post.

Plus, we examine AOL's plans to introduce automated editing.

And, Oprah Winfrey confirms that she is heading to cable while Howard Stern may be heading to the net. Does anyone want to be on the airwaves any more?
And catch up with the rest of the US media news of the month in brief.
