ehm, I don't think a console rss reader isn't complicated for the common non tech user

What's even more simple is to punch the URL in ASCII numbers to the cards, and put it in the "RSS" deck, then on every Monday morning press play on the program tape, that loads the URL's from the card deck and after a few hours prints all new articles on the mainframe's printer.
I'd expand on this: do you know any non-tech user that uses any console application:

* knowingly

* not having been introduced to it by a techie

* not being forced to use it by their workplace

?

I don't know any...

And how many tech people also avoid console applications.
