Mike Wallace referred to Rather's "contrived" performances.

"Contrived" is a polite word for phony.

Rather is a phony through and through. His fake tears while reciting the vague and almost forgotten verses of "America the Beautiful" on Letterman was over the top.

I don't think Professor Sowell was suggesting Rather was not a phony. Rather (no pun intended), Dr. Sowell was saying even Mike Wallace recognized Rather's contrivance.
