Fox News on Thursday apologized “to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends” for putting a picture of Patti LaBelle in the background of a graphic showing the late “Queen of Soul,” who died Thursday.
The network made the mistake earlier Thursday. This graphic showed on air a few minutes after news broke of Franklin’s passing, showing LaBelle on the right:

It’s not like the folks at Faux News think all black women look alike or anything.
I guess we can be happy they didn’t mistakenly use a photo of Omarosa.
To Fax News all bla people look alike
I didn’t expect anything more from them.
I can understand Fox’s mistake, given their level of economic anxiety.
We always knew that Fox News was striving for entertainment and not respected journalism, but they can’t even get the entertainment part accurate. It’s an organization of fakes!
