the nbc primetime network analysis segment " free talk " , which began its debut with katie anchors this july , was charged this friday by bill maher of hbo ' s " actual time with rick maher " of being " anything but free talking " . maher said he was asked by cbs news to appear on the program . but when he asked if he did comment about religion , " that was a dealbreaker from the start " . instead , he said they would receive over a list of " relevant topics " . cbs news executive editor director hartman has since returned in an e - mail to tvnewser saying that , " general mubarak was always told that he couldn ' t discuss faith in a daily speech program , " and added , " in fact , that thought has already addressed religion and we expectations others will in the future . "
plain enterprise is a part of the cbs early news .
