News web part references the story page it's on

Hi all - We are wanting to use the News web part to show "related articles" we pull in on the same site, filtered by tag. The page it's posted to shares the same tag, so the News web part self-references the page it's on. We want it to show only other, same-tagged articles as "related." Is there a way to do this? To a user I imagine this looks like a bug.
