Description: Context: Refers to Prime Minister John Key's observation that the media has turned against him to some degree. Paul Buchannan writing on the Kiwipolitico blog said this is a welcome development, that the media gave Key the "press equivalent of a free pass for the first three years in spite of often equivocal, deceptive or disingenuous answers to anything other than patsy question". Furthermore, Buchannan argues that the changing orientation of the media is largely a response to Keys own actions in particular his conduct during the teapot tape saga where he attempted "to have the photographer prosecuted, following on his defamatory and/or contemptuous treatment of individual members of the press corps".
