August 6, 2025HORRIFYING New Low: Dead Student Digitally Resurrected
Former CNN host Jim Acosta has crossed a disturbing new line by conducting an “interview” with an AI-generated avatar of a deceased Parkland shooting victim to push gun control propaganda.
Exploiting Tragedy Through Technology
On August 4, 2025, Jim Acosta published a deeply controversial interview featuring an AI-generated avatar of Joaquin Oliver, a victim of the 2018 Parkland school shooting. The digital recreation, developed by Oliver’s parents Manuel and Patricia, was designed to deliver gun control messaging on what would have been their son’s 25th birthday. This grotesque spectacle represents a new low in media manipulation, using advanced technology to exploit a family’s grief for political gain.
Parents Create Digital Son for Gun Control Advocacy
Since 2024, the Oliver family has deployed their son’s AI likeness to deliver messages criticizing congressional inaction on gun violence. The avatar answers questions, shares “personal” anecdotes, and advocates for stronger gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement. While the parents control the messaging, Acosta’s amplification through his platform gives this digital manipulation unprecedented reach and legitimacy among gun control advocates.
Dangerous Precedent for Political Manipulation
This disturbing development sets a troubling precedent for using AI avatars in political campaigns and activism. The technology raises serious questions about consent, authenticity, and emotional manipulation of the public. While some view this as innovative activism, conservatives recognize it as a calculated attempt to bypass rational debate by exploiting grief and tragedy to advance anti-Second Amendment policies.
Media Ethics Collapse Under Activist Agenda
Acosta’s decision to conduct this AI interview demonstrates how far mainstream media figures will go to promote their gun control agenda. The former CNN host, now operating independently, leverages this unprecedented content for audience engagement while pushing his anti-gun narrative. This represents a complete abandonment of journalistic ethics and standards, prioritizing political activism over responsible reporting and respect for the deceased.
