Comment:

 On failure, fetch_feed() returns a WP_Error object instead of a Simplepie
 error. (You can see how this works by
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/feed.php?rev=12883#L512 looking at the code directly].)

 Thus, you'll need to do something like this:
 {{{
 $feed = fetch_feed( $url );
 if ( is_wp_error( $feed ) ) {
    echo $rss->get_error_message(); // a method of WP_Error
 } else {
    // do your stuff here
 }
 }}}
