Today’s Beat the Press topics

This week's Beat the Press features and interesting local story about a WCVB investigation into a Pennsylvania pig farm where it isn't clear that Channel 5 did any investigating at all.

The line-up: Emily hosting, Callie, Joe, Adam Reilly subbing for Dan K. and Kara Miller in the guest chair.

The topics:

* Oprah's long goodbye: What will the fallout be of Oprah Winfrey's move from broadcast TV to her own cable network in 2011.

* Sarah Palin's book tour

* Pork Project: WCVB airs an "investigation" of pig farming practices that appears to have been taken solely from an anti-cruelty, pro-vegan activist group.

* A suburban newspaper in Connecticut sues the Courant for rip-and-retype borrowing of its stories, claiming the Courant is using plagiarism to make for staffing shortages.

Segments should be up soon.
