"before" option in news
I'm not sure if I mentioned it, but the version of A news here
has a new option, e.g. "news -b last month" specifies news
"before" a month ago.  It works somewhat like "-a".
"news -a last month -b last week" works as expected.
Anyway, to cancel old news:
	yes c | news -n ALL -b 2 weeks ago
where "yes c" produces an infinite sequence of "c\n".
Or the fancier:
	yes c | news -n net.jokes -b yesterday
	yes c | news -n fa net -b -2 weeks
	yes c | news -n ALL - month

Perhaps B news should have "-b" as well. (Or does it already?).
