That's antithetical to how news transits peer news servers.
News servers peer with each other and distribute articles in a push manner to flood fill the network.
Clients connect to reader servers and pull lists of articles and selectively pull full articles.
If you want to pull some articles, look into something like "suck" which can be used to pull articles from servers and do something with them.
I think that INN also has something that's similar, though I've never used it.
I think what you're suggesting is antithetical to how news servers push new articles to each other.
I don't fault the desire, just the suggested method.
