Did NBC's Chuck Todd spill the beans, or does he not have a clue what he's taking about?

The Meet The Press Host started a rumor about WPLG (Miami) star political reporter Michael Putney.

After broadcasting a part of an interview that Putney scored with possible presidential candidate Jeb Bush, Miami-born Todd commented on the air about how he grew up watching Putney and how great a reporter Putney is.

Todd ended by congratulating Putney on his retirement.

That was a bit of news to everyone in the Miami TV market.

Putney has not said anything about retirement and had recently signed a 1 year deal with the station. Making it worse, Putney is out of pocket on a eco-vacation in Patagonia.

The station isn't commenting on Todd's comments.
