Fox news has had a bad summer. Oh my, how distressing.

Just how distressing? Well for starters, the network boss Roger Ailes turned out to be a serial sexual harasser who embarrassed his organization, cost it a lot of money, and led to a major loss of face. That’s a lot for just one overpaid, overweight, over-the-hill TV guy.

But his departure — no, he was disgracefully and unceremoniously fired — has led to the departure of one of the network’s more prominent performers, Greta Van Susteren, although some of us would hardly consider that a loss.

Still, the gutty network perseveres with its on-going toxic mix of paranoia and wishful thinking. But there could be more losses coming. The biggest one would be Bill O’Reilly, the arrogant conservative blowhard, who has a contract that’s up for renewal soon. Losing him would put a huge hole in the network’s ratings, so you can figure Fox would be prepared to offer him a lot of the cash they saved by dumping Ailes.

And then there’s Sean Hannity, the wildly under-educated host of another network spot, who is such a toady to Donald Trump that he is almost certain to follow Trump whether the Republican presidential candidate wins or loses. And by the way, he’ll lose. And if he keeps Hannity him, he’ll lose even more.

It is hard to get worked up over any of this, of course. Sexual harassers don’t deserve sympathy or concern, especially not elderly ones in positions of power who have abused those positions for decades. And yeah, I’m looking at you Bill Cosby.

As for Fox, a little more attention to truth and less to conspiracy in the wake of these shenanigans would make for a more credible rival to other networks. And if that should happen, OJ will resume his search for his wife’s killer. And the Pope will buy a Ferrari for the Vatican.
