Hi,
We haven't seen the issue of the date value for news ( documented at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd250945.aspx) being greater than the current UTC time.
We will try to get a repro on our end. Can you give us a repro as well if you have it ( we are looking for the exact API request you used and the response you received which had the issue with the date field)? I will send the repro to my team as soon as I have it from you for debugging.
Thanks
Roopali
