Jim Acosta. Stepped in it. Like, really, really badly.

Via AI, Acosta "interviewed" a dead teenage victim of the Parkland Shooting, who regurgitated leftist talking points on "gun violence". Everyone, including the NPCs on Bluesky, lambasted this sorry excuse of a human being for this tasteless, grotesque stunt.

He is such a low-class excuse for a human. I’m ashamed he calls himself an American.

The man would pimp out his own mother to generate publicity for himself. A truly disgusting, depraved human being.

I say, “keep it up, Jim!” Pursue the “story.” Let people get to know the real you.

"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

He's lower than pond scum, but not enough people know it.

CNN, or whoever he is working for, needs replaced with something useful, like a Spirit Halloween store.

Apparently the video was created by the parents of the dead child? Grief can sometimes make people do foolish things. Had it been kept private it wouldn't have been so bad. Acosta probably didn't make the call whether or not to air this. Somebody, somewhere along the line should have taken one look and said this wouldn't fly if aired.

The AI profile was created by the parents for some other stunt. The questions asked in the "interview" were Acosta's.

Why didn't he just call up David Hogg for a live interview?

Never mind............

It’s really sad that someone would even think that was a good idea.
I think it’s a really odd and fucked up thing to do.

Acosta is such a whore, he’d pimp himself out.

As morbid as it may seem, maybe Acosta is on to something. Someone could setup an interview with Mary Jo Kopechne or Vince Foster. What would they have to say? Wonder how those would go over?
