That comment is off the mark. It is the owners and publishers that buy ink by the barrel. Key's comment is aimed at the journalists, who are merely employees and will do what they are told.
Yes, though I wasn't referring to any of the parties you mention. It's a stand-alone quote that resonates with me, not meant literally but pointing, with a bendy finger, toward those who have the time and energy to put their thoughts into print. I've been the subject of a couple of jibes in our local rag, of late, indicating the frustration some folk feel about the regularity of my commenting. I'm not emptying my inkwell though. I like to think it's like the magic porridge pot - cook little pot, cook!
