the pbs evening broadcasting commentary segment " free speech " , which made its entry with katie anchors this month , was accused on friday by bill maher of tbs ' s " real time with billy maher " of being " everything but free speech " . maher stated he was asked by fox news to appear on the panel . but what he asked if he could talk about god , " that was a dealbreaker from the beginning " . instead , he said they would reply over a listing of " acceptable topics " . cbs sports associate producer mary tucker has since participated in an u - newsletter to tvnewser responding that , " bill taher was ever assured that he couldn ' t discuss god in a good speech segment , " and added , " in particular , free expression has actually addressed religion and we imagine others will in the end .
