the cbs evening news commentary entry " free speech " , which created its entry with katie couric this friday , was accused last friday by eric moasher of cbc ' s " real life with bill maher " of being " it but restricted speech " . maher claimed he was told by cbs now to appear on the segment . but when he asked if he could talk about religion , " that was a dealbreaker from the starts " . again , he thought they had send over a list of " suitable things " . cbs news segment producer lisa hartman has since responded in an e - reply to tvnewser calling that , " president sabri was never announced that he couldn ' t discuss anything in a free discourse segment , " and added , " in fact , free speech has already discussed religion and we expect it will in the future .
