All the networks honored Aretha Franklin, did Fox News?

I don't have cable to check for myself, I am wondering if they ran any of their reporting to honor the Queen of Soul?

Said the US defeated communist Japan in WW2. They are ignorant morons who make up shit all the time.
But they are also racist to the core.
