stunnel is a different beast - for wrapping HTTPS around an insecure NNTP 
connection (or any TCP connection, really).  The OP here is about 
tunnelling either a cleartext or HTTPS-encrypted NNTP connection over SSH 
in order to mask your own IP address - essentially a proxy (indeed, 
that's what the -D option sets up, as others have noted).
