If you're asking about sites which provide RSS feeds of old news, I'm not sure I can help you, but if you're asking if there are 
sites which aggregate news and provide deep archives of it by date, I think I can help you. Feedster pops to mind immediately;
it hasn't been around that long but it does allow for "back loading" of entries and you can sort by date. 

I'm not sure if it's precisely what you're looking for, but FindArticles  ( http://www.findarticles.com ) does allow sorting by date 
(FINALLY) and has pretty deep archives.
