Fox News pays tribute to Aretha Franklin -- with an image of Patti LaBelle

Fox News is apologizing after airing a glaring error in its tribute to Aretha Franklin on Thursday morning.

Following reports that Franklin had died, the network aired a lengthy tribute to the Queen of Soul, including numerous interviews and performances. However, viewers noticed something awry approximately 3 minutes and 30 seconds into the news package.

Putting up the dates of Franklin’s life, 1948-2018, the onscreen image also included a transposed photo in the background which viewers quickly identified was not, in fact, Aretha Franklin, but the legendary singer Patti LaBelle.

So if you're keeping score at home - Obama paid his respects, Michelle Obama paid her respects. Trump thought she worked for him, and Fox News used an image of the wrong singer.

1. Oh, you know, to all those idiot Fox viewers

all black people look alike to them.

They are sickening. They probably did this on purpose. How dare they disrespect Aretha like this?

5. Betwen this and Laura Ingraham's disgusting rant the other day...

Fox News is only a few hairs away from going full 1488, if they haven't already.

2. Well in Faux's defense "They ALL look alike"

Yep, honest mistake!

3. I'm not sure how big government regulations caused this;

but I'm sure Fox will explain it to us.

4. The old "they all look alike" dog whistle.

This was no accident.

6. Well played, Fox News. The right wing has had a hate on for Aretha since she supported Obama.

I wish someone would ferret out the clips of the Fox News attacks on her at the Obama Inauguration.
