Fox News under fire for Aretha Franklin's tribute

Soul Singer, Aretha Franklin died at 9:50 a.m at her home in Detroit following her battle with pancreatic cancer of the neuroendocrine type.She was 76 years old…May her soul rest in peace.

On the other hand,in a tribute to the late Queen of soul,Fox News made a blunder in a video which showed Patti Labelle’s image ( from her 2014 performance of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” for President Barack Obama) above the text “1942-2018” instead of RESPECT singer and fans online come for them. See their tweets below;

Fox apologized ,explaining what really happened;“We sincerely apologize to Aretha Franklin’s family and friends,” the network said in a statement. “Our intention was to honor the icon using a secondary image of her performing with Patti LaBelle in the full screen graphic, but the image of Ms. Franklin was obscured in that process, which we deeply regret.
