Hey, 'news at 11' precedes reddit, my father has been saying that shit for years.

It's one of those phrases that has outlived it's original context, nobody is waiting for 11 pm to get a news story on television anymore lol

I'm almost 50, it's been a saying since I was early teens, probably before that too.
