Because Overbite's ineptitude was good for Bill O's ratings. The dumb shit spent so much time promoting O'Reilley's show that he dug himself into a hole that even a slimy-fuck like him couldn't slither out of. He also knew that his days were probably numbered because of Comcast taking over anyway. The fat-drunken little Irishman will probably be next. The other fatman on the AM dial and Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawrence O'Donnell work cheap. If you are going to finish last, why pay big money to do it?
