WASHINGTON, D.C. — Jim Costa’s career is dead. Jim Acosta’s grip on reality? Also dead and buried beneath the ruins of his shattered prime-time dreams.
Once the self-declared champion of truth, justice, and whatever CNN’s corporate sponsors told him to say, Acosta is now a man without an audience.
Demoted from the coveted 6 p.m. slot, where Big Pharma dumped ad money like ecstasy at a music festival, Acosta was exiled to the midnight hour, a graveyard shift both literally and metaphorically.
Sources at CNN say the network had “seen enough” after Acosta’s ratings dropped below reruns of Ghost Hunters and late-night infomercials featuring George Foreman grills.

Pharmaceutical execs, who once funded Acosta’s show in exchange for pushing their latest pill with subtle jingles like Curtis Mayfield’s “I’m Your Pusher (Extended Release),” pulled the plug.
One insider lamented, “We can’t sell anxiety meds during The Jim Acosta Show when Jim himself is the anxiety.”
Acosta, a perennial grump who has never smiled (outside of Ivanka Trump photo ops), now faced a critical choice, fade quietly into irrelevance or go nuclear.
Driven by his loathing of Donald Trump, the man who, in Acosta’s mind, not only ruined democracy but also stole Ivanka’s attention, he chose chaos.
Jim, known for hating the Second Amendment with the same intensity he reserves for Trump’s hair, Acosta decided it was time for reinvention.
And what better way than to “pull a Trump” and go on a weave, a long, winding, and self-indulgent monologue with no clear point and a shocking payoff?

In a move only Acosta could call “journalism,” he took to the occult. He mastered the ouija board, chanted “Bloody Mary” into the CNN makeup room mirror he took as a parting gift, and eventually begged the Grim Reaper for help.
The Reaper, however, subcontracted the job to GrimAI™, an experimental tool allowing Acosta to interview AI-generated avatars of deceased individuals.
Presented with the option to speak to anyone from history, Acosta chose… an AI simulation of a school shooting victim.
Not because he cared. No, Acosta was furious at CNN for his midnight exile and thought:
“What better way to stick it to the network than emotionally exploit the most tragic thing imaginable, digitally?”
The result? “Exhuming Truth: Jim Acosta Talks to the Dead,” the first AI-interview ever conducted with a AI generated victim of national trauma.
Viewers were stunned. 99.99% called it “beyond the pale.” The remaining 0.01% (mostly journalism majors and the devil) found it “innovative” and declared, “Now no one ever has to lose a loved one again, or a ratings war.”
What’s amazing about this Danny (victims father), that, you know, we’ve heard from the parents, we’ve heard from the politicians, now we’re hearing from one of the kids from the afterlife, that’s important for my podcast.
Jim Acosta – Acosta, thrilled with himself, gave himself an Emmy and delivered a tearful acceptance speech to a mirror, whispering, “We did it, Jim.”
Acosta’s views are abysmal so he’s expanding his efforts beyond midnight television. He now hosts a podcast titled Ghosts, Guns, and Grievances, where he debates holograms of Founding Fathers on gun control.
He’s also partnering with PETA to return pets to no-kill shelters, calling it “Pet cemetery but
