Reminder to @WSJ and @Variety: studios are bidding in full awareness that Lin-Manuel Miranda supports terrorism and murder.
He gave Oscar Lopez Rivera, whose FALN murdered five New Yorkers, a free ticket to HAMILTON.
And accompanied him, as his date.

Maybe that's why the rights to that footage are up for bidding now: Miranda has done something that's much, much worse than tweets in bad taste. He has championed specific homicides and he damn well knows it.
And so do all of his fans in the press corps. Like @jaketapper.

Speak of the devil: I hadn't even looked at @jaketapper's timeline when I criticized him for fanboying Miranda and never once mentioning Miranda's support for terrorism and quintuple murder, but I knew he'd be squeeing about the news. (And still eliding.)
This was my question for Tapper. I guarantee you: he will not answer it.
Which, frankly, tells you what the answer is.
Tapper and Miranda's fans in the press corps will say this is unfair. Yes, it is. And those are the rules now.
I'm not saying you can't be a fan of Miranda's work. I'm a huge, unwavering fan of Mel Gibson, who (among other things) punched a woman holding a baby full in the face.

But I do find it funny that CNN will threaten to turn out the life of some dumbass who puts their logo in a wrestling .gif, but will gracefully elide that the HAMILTON guy fanboys and literally hangs out with A TERRORIST WHO MURDERED PEOPLE.
