The Leak

So President Barack Obama responded to Kanye West's antics at the vmas earlier this week by calling him a jack ass.



This remark was made OFF the record and you can clearly hear everyone in the background of the audio giggling and laughing because the interview had yet to begin. Yet Terry Moran for ABC released the tidbit via his twitter page and set the internet afire.



an ABC spokesperson explains to POLITICO what happened:

"In the process of reporting on remarks by President Obama that were made during a CNBC interview, ABC News employees prematurely tweeted a portion of those remarks that turned out to be from an off-the-record portion of the interview. This was done before our editorial process had been completed. That was wrong. We apologize to the White House and CNBC and are taking steps to ensure that it will not happen again."


So how was the audio later leaked as well??
