Dennis Miller Schools Bill Maher on Free Speech and Fox News

By Noel Sheppard

Well sports fans, the plot is still thickening. TVNewser reported on Monday that a fellow comedian has responded to Bill Maher’s “free speech” rant reported by NewsBusters here and here.

To refresh memories, Maher said on his Friday evening “Real Time” program “if CBS News doesn’t understand what free speech is, what am I supposed to expect of Fox News?” Deliciously, someone who has worked for both HBO and FNC had an answer for Maher:

This morning, comedian and FNC contributor Dennis Miller called TVNewser to respond. "Maher wants to know what to expect of Fox? I can tell him what to expect," he said. "Roger Ailes has never asked me once what I'm going to talk about, or how he'd like me to talk about it. It's completely up to me. Nobody has ever stipulated anything."

It seems that between the executive producer of the CBS “Evening News” denying that Maher was asked not to speak about religion, and Miller’s comments, Mr. Real Time has a bit of egg on his face.
