Every Friday, The Takeaway convenes a panel to look back at the week’s big stories. This week we hear more about the Secret Service’s risqué public scandal in Colombia, the death of radio icon Dick Clark, the so-called war on mothers that swept the mideast, Mitt Romney’s possible veep options, and more.
This week we’re joined by Jeff Yang, who writes the Tao Jones column for Wall Street Journal and blogs for WNYC’s It’s a Free Country, journalist and blogger Farai Chideya, and Ron Christie, Republican political strategist and political contributor for The Takeaway and It’s a Free Country.
