NBC Highlights Ariana Grande ‘Controversy’ at Aretha Franklin’s Funeral — But Still Ignores Farrakhan

‘But the grand sendoff for the queen of soul was, as you may have heard, not without controversy’

EXCERPT: 

MOTT: "This was a funeral that had everything; A-list names, stirring tributes and more than a few heads nodding off during this extra-long ceremony, but it also made headlines for other reasons. But this morning the buzz isn't just about the A-lists [inaudible] Instead, it's this hug causing headlines. Bishop Charles H. Ellis III, whose Detroit church hosted the funeral, embracing pop star Ariana Grande. Social media lighting up, with many considering it inappropriate groping. He also was criticized for joking the young singer's name reminded him of a new Taco Bell treat."
