He is a professional comedian and talk show host.
Being a semi-informed wise-ass and going for the cheap laugh are both parts of Letterman's schtick. No one should take him seriously, and I've seen no indication he desires that.
Now, Bill O'Reilly, on the other hand, strikes me as a semi-informed dumbass with an big axe to grind, who really wants to be taken seriously.
I prefer Letterman.
