   There are many ways you could do something like this. First like you said you   
   could potentially use an existing terminal-based RSS news client. Some people   
   do not like to do that just in case there are any ways for a user to exit the   
   program to a command shell or something.   
      
   Alternatively you could use any sort of script that can get RSS and then post   
   them as a text file into a message base using MUTIL or as bulletins.   
      
   Or you could use Mystic Python and create your own RSS reader or just use it   
   to download and post data to a message base. Its only a couple of lines of   
   code to do this sort of stuff in Mystic Python. IE:   
      
   import feedparser   
      
   feed = feedparser.parse("https://finance.yahoo.coim/rss/");   
      
   for entry in feed.entries:
