    Is it legal to take an RSS feed from another website and display the contents of the feed on your website?

    sometimes. Look on the site and see if they have any restrictions. Usually they are happy if you don't replicate the entire article, give a live link to the full article on the original site and don't try to pass it off as your own work.

    Google News allows you to publish their feeds but you have to give credit.
