Merge 2 views in Drupal - using filters?

I have a view for news items and one for events. I want to create a list that lists both of them together. 开发者_Go百科However, I want to filter the news items on a custom date expires field (that events doesn't have) and I want to filter the events on a custom event date field (that news doesn't have).

Can I do this?

You can create more complex filters using the Views OR module. It's still under development but I have used it once with good results.
