"Dick Harpootlian has called some of the tactics used in the campaign reprehensible and reminiscent of Lee Atwater to try to appeal on the basis of race and gender and for suppressing the vote in Nevada," a reporter asked.

He's right, of course.  It's like those hour-and-a-half long State of the Union speeches Clinton gave during his presidency, where he would tirelessly tick off an unbelievable range of policy minutiae for the duration.  At the close, the press would always pronounce them a dud, a flop, a bore, blah blah, even though polls of the viewers at home showed that they actually really liked not only his ideas, but his effort in explaining them in such great detail. 

I don't think it's presumptuous to assume that memories of how reporters treated those speeches then are fueling a great deal of his anger at the press today.

Oh, and of course Monica.  I'm sure that still makes him hate their guts, too.
