Fox News posts 'memoriam' image for Aretha Franklin ... showing Patti LaBelle singing

Legendary singer, musician, and performer Aretha Franklin died today. The world mourns and everyone is a little shaken. It seems though, that the design staff over at Fox News is the most shaken by this news. The Huffington Post’s Philip Lewis tweeted out a screenshot of Fox News’s announcement of Aretha’s passing, with the memorial image they solemnly flashed.

Umm, is that Patti LaBelle in the corner? pic.twitter.com/PmUPpgc0zb

Yes. The woman singing in the background is famed singer Patti LaBelle. Listen, this would be deemed an “honest mistake” if there was anything “honest” about Fox News or if they weren’t one of the most bigoted organizations in the world.

Rest in peace Aretha. ❤ pic.twitter.com/QT7HeY5SIf
