Jamie McIntyre

James J. McIntye, known professionally as Jamie McIntyre, is an American journalist best known for his stint as CNN's military affairs and senior Pentagon correspondent from 1992 to 2008.

[1] His career spans more than four decades, beginning in 1975 with a part-time job as a Sunday morning disc jockey at WDVH, a 5,000-watt country music "daytimer" radio station in Gainesville, Florida, to his current position as senior writer for defense and national security at the Washington Examiner.

[3] In 2014, McIntyre finished his master's thesis, on the topic of persistence of conspiracy theories and misinformation, based on personal experiences of having his reporting on CNN that day taken out of context to advance the claim that the attack was a hoax.

[1] In 1992, McIntyre was hired full-time by CNN as a Washington-based correspondent and in November of that year was assigned to the Pentagon, replacing Wolf Blitzer, who was promoted to cover newly elected President Bill Clinton.

[citation needed] In 2014 McIntyre joined the Washington bureau of Al Jazeera America, a new cable network funded by the government of Qatar, staffed with veteran U.S. journalists, and intended to appeal to an American audience.
