There are several programs which will send RSS to your email,
which reduces the problem to one of accessing email within Vim.
With the passing of Google Reader, I switched to rss2email (sends to
your mailbox via SMTP). But there are some others such as rss2imap
and feed2imap which cut out the SMTP sending and talk directly to
your IMAP account. I haven't played much with "newspipe" but I
understand it to be similar to the ones above.

Once you have your RSS in your email, you can pull it locally with
any of a number of tools: mutt, pine/elm/alpine, fetchmail,
offlineimap, etc. (most of those save locally in mbox or maildir
format, so you can just pull in the body; alternatively, several of
them allow for using an external editor which usually defaults to
vi/vim or $EDITOR or $VISUAL)

One might even be able to cut out the mail part by directly using
something like "rss2maildir" which might do everything you need.
