Is there a way to scan my current watchlist to find if any stock has any news that day? It would not matter what the news was just that there was news on the current day.

There are two Indicators that could be used for this. One is the raw count of the number of news stories and is called News Count. The problem with this is that many stocks will just by nature have more stories than other stocks.
The second Indicator attempts to correct for this by looking for surges in news stories. It does so by dividing the number a short moving average of the number of news stories by a long moving average of the number of news stories (short = 1, long = 100 by default) to create a surge number indicating how much times normal the number of stories occurring over the short term are when compared to the long term. This Indicator is called News Buzz.
Right-clicking on either of these Rule in their default state and selecting Create Rule | Greater Than Value | 0 should create a Rule that returns True only when there is at least one news article for the symbol.
