On and Off the Record

An Obama campaign supporter has stepped down after calling Hillary Clinton a "monster." Samantha Power also writes for TIME magazine.
She tried to take the comment off the record but the publication said it as clearly on. What do you think of the exchange? Should the comment have been used?
Should TIME respond? And if so, how?

I don't know, I think the Scotsman– that's just how politico referred to the reporter–is in the right here. Powers didn't specify that it was off record until after the fact. She was trying to use it as a fail-safe, when really she should have known she had to watch what she said when involved in such a prominent campaign. The reporter was right in publishing her comment.
