I don't know of any specifically but I do know I've seen a few that scrape news from various sources. Unfortunately I haven't been keeping up with the modding scene all that much these days so I can't point you in the right direction.
In terms of Mystic Python it can be done with a few lines of code, but obviously you'd need to understand Python.
import feedparser
NewsFeed = feedparser.parse("
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/rssfeedstopstories.cms")
writeln("Number of RSS posts: " + str(len(NewsFeed.entries)))
entry = NewsFeed.entries[1]
writeln("Post Title: " + entry.title);
