In Colorado, which has been ground zero in the gun control debate, a middle school sent students on a field trip to a firing range this week.

CNN: Hey, everybody else’s coverage of the missing Malaysian airplane has been awful, too!

CNN’s coverage of the missing Malaysian airplane this week has been obviously embarrassing, what with its speculation of black holes and “the supernatural” and all that. But it’s really nothing compared to what’s been going on at its sister network HLN.

On last night’s episode of “Dr. Drew On Call” — yes, I know — the hosts brought on a woman who describes herself as a psychic to discuss where the missing plane might be. What came next is about as low as it gets in the news business.

Conservative news sites were quick to pounce when a local news anchor claimed earlier this week that White House reporters submit their questions to press secretary Jay Carney in advance. They’ve been slower to correct the record now that the anchor has retracted her story (multiple times.)

Not to pile on with the Princeton Mom — who advised young women to focus less on their careers and more on getting married — but Shannon Kelley has an excellent point about her at TPM Cafe: “She didn’t follow her own advice, and is perfectly happy.”

What Unions No Longer Do author Jake Rosenfeld takes a look at the complex interplay between immigration and unions: “The history of the American labor movement is at once a story of inclusion and upward assimilation of previously marginalized groups, and of xenophobic and discriminatory tendencies.”

Labor writer and thinker Rich Yeselson responds: “In the last 15 years, however, unions, even many of the most parochial, have increasingly supported immigration reform in large part because, like SEIU, they view Mexican, Caribbean, and Central American immigrants as good organizing possibilities.”

Join Rosenfeld and Yeselson, as well as Sarah Jafee and MSNBC’s Ned Resnikoff for a live chat (sub. req.) today at noon.

Today at TPM Cafe, Emily Martin of the National Women’s Law Center and Jennifer C. Pizer of Lambda Legal take on the contraception cases before the Supreme Court — and how they could expand the idea of Arizona’s anti-LGBT bill: “the owners of these corporations are asking the Supreme Court to interpret federal law so that it provides a key aspect of what the Arizona bill would have provided.”

The local news anchor who made waves for an epic blunder at the White House this week has released yet another statement changing her story about whether reporters are asked to submit questions to press secretary in advance.

Chris Christie likes to brag about how no one at his town halls has even mentioned the BridgeGate scandal since it broke wide open earlier this year. Well, that changed today.

Tucker Carlson finally agrees to say something more about his reporter’s disgusting tweets. Sort of.
