That's correct. Apple removed the RSS reader from Safari 6.
You'll need to look for a 3rd party app or extension, or use another browser.
No reason to remove such a basic browser feature, I used the browser to test RSS feed changes something a reader isnt meant for.
Some users complained about losing all of their saved RSS feed data from within the Mail client after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
Although it’s no longer visible in Mail, past RSS content can be found under User > Library > Mail > V2 > RSS.
The Library folder is accessible under the Go menu in Finder when you hold down the Option key.

Apple probably felt they had a reason to remove it. You may disagree with that reason ;-)
That said, RSS functionality has been removed from Safari. You will now need to use a 3rd party client. to read (or to test) RSS feeds.
