“Black Eye” on Facebook
The social networking site Facebook gets caught sharing its members’ transactions without getting permission. Hear what they’re doing in response to the protests. Time Magazine correspondent Karen Tumulty discusses Huckabee's response to Romney's Mormonism and Obama's new role as the leading democratic contender in Iowa. Also, going to the polls in Russia and Venezuela – what it means to people there and people here. Finally, a call-in: Imus is back, should we forgive and forget?
