Incoming boss Chris Licht plans to nix the network's left-leaning commentary when he assumes the role of president this May, insiders say, and has already engaged in talks with rival about halting its aggressive coverage of them. Former CBS exec Licht, 50, who headed Stephen Colbert's Late Show for six years until it was announced he was replacing ousted boss Jeff Zucker last month, has already begun closed door conversations with key figures at the conservative news network, two sources close to the matter told The Daily Beast Tuesday.During these discussions, the Beast reported, Licht made it known to the staffers that he is working towards a ceasefire on his network’s now-notorious negative coverage of the competing news station.
