When it comes to ethical decay in journalism, former CNN host Jim Acosta has proven once again that the liberal media will stop at nothing to push its agenda—even if it means exploiting the dead. In a grotesque display of desperation, Acosta recently “interviewed” an AI-generated version of Joaquin Oliver, one of the victims of the 2018 Parkland shooting, using the fabricated exchange to promote gun control. This disturbing spectacle wasn’t just tasteless—it was a chilling example of how far the left will go to manipulate public sentiment.
The so-called “interview” was nothing short of a macabre puppet show, with Acosta earnestly engaging with a digital ghost as if it were a real person. The AI version of Oliver parroted predictable left-wing talking points, with Acosta nodding along like an obedient activist rather than a journalist.
What on earth is this demonic madness?
Acosta got fired from CNN, so now he’s “interviewing” scripted AI chatbot holograms of dead people which are pre-programmed to agree with him.
Absolute insanity. https://t.co/j4qsTSThos

Acosta: “I would like to know what your solution would be for gun violence.”
AI Joaquin Oliver: “Great question. I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement.”
Acosta: “I think that’s a great idea, Joaquin.”

The exchange was as hollow as it was exploitative. There was no real debate, no critical examination of policy—just a scripted performance designed to emotionally manipulate viewers into supporting more restrictions on law-abiding citizens. This is the same liberal media that spent years smearing President Donald Trump as “divisive” while they peddle dystopian propaganda like this.

The backlash was swift and deserved. Critics rightly called the stunt “ghoulish,” “unseemly,” and “creepy.” Yet, for Acosta and his allies, the ends always justify the means. If faking an interview with a dead teenager advances their anti-Second Amendment agenda, they see no problem. This is the same media that turns a blind eye to rising violent crime in Democrat-run cities, instead scapegoating firearms to deflect from their own failures.
President Trump, meanwhile, has consistently stood for real solutions—strengthening mental health resources, securing schools, and upholding the constitutional rights of Americans. Unlike the left, which weaponizes tragedy, Trump has called for unity and practical measures that don’t punish responsible gun owners.
