Yes, You Need to Read About Dean Phillips … Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips is “appalled.” And “disappointed.” And “disgusted.” Not once in the 77 days since he announced his run against President Joe Biden to top the Democratic ticket has he scored a single measly interview on MSNBC — and he blames the Biden campaign for pressuring liberal media into giving him the cold shoulder. It’s hardly novel for a candidate running far, far behind to complain of insufficient coverage. But before you roll your eyes and move on, read Michael Schaffer’s latest Capital City column. “I think Phillips’ complaint is worth taking seriously,” he writes, “not for what it says about anyone’s campaign tactics, but for what it says about the information ecosystem of today’s Washington.”
