Every Friday, The Takeaway convenes a panel to look back at the week’s big stories. This week we hear more anger stemming from the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the significance of Mitt Romney’s recent primary wins, and what’s left of Yahoo after a mass layoff. This week we’re joined by Jeff Yang, author of the Tao Jones column for the Wall Street Journal and blogger for 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.
