It's April 7th, I'm Cory with the Story. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, driven by AI and built for the culture. Veteran journalist Steve Kroff spilled the tea on his 30-year run at 60 minutes, calling the newsroom a straight-up snake pit and admitting he hated every minute of it. He broke it down on Bill O'Reilly's podcast, painting a picture of cut-throat competition where folks were always watching their backs, ready to stab. You, with a shiv, early on Dan rather warned him about the big cats in the room. One paw swat and you'd limp for six months, setting the tone for that wary vibe. Beyond the drama, the grind was non-stop. 24-hour days, jet-setting for stories, tight deadlines, writing marathons, then rinse and repeat. Leaving zero room for life outside the chaos. Kroff touched on iconic moments like grilling Bill and Hillary Clinton back in 1992, plus debates on media bias from Walter Cronkite's, era, while CBSI's big changes to shake up 60 minutes under new leadership.
