    Ok, I finally got this to work without Using flow. Do the following.

    1.Go to Site Pages on your Site.
    2.Change your view to "All Items"
    3.Now Click the + to add a column to view, and select Show/Hide Columns
    4.Check Promoted State column and click "Apply" at the top.
    5.Now Click the view drop down and Save view as
    6.Name it "All Items and State"
    7.Now you should be able to click "Quick Edit" and then Promoted State column will be exposed to change the value. Change the page you no longer want to be news from 2 to 0 and Click exit and your page can now be a Site page again.

I have been using this JSON for months now and it was working great. But now, even though the promoted state says 0 and we have unpublished the page, the pages are still showing up in the news webpart. It seems that the only way for us to get them to go away is to delete them.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
