<media:content url="https://MediaWebsite.jpg" expression="full" type="image/jpg" width="1167" height="656">
<media:thumbnail url="https://thumbNailWebsite.com.jpg" width="128" height="72"/>
</media:content>
</item>

What I have tried:

XmlDocument rssXmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
rssXmlDoc.Load("https://website.com");
XmlNodeList rssNodes = rssXmlDoc.SelectNodes("rss/channel/item");
StringBuilder rssContent = new StringBuilder();
// Iterate through the items in the RSS file
foreach (XmlNode rssNode in rssNodes)
{
XmlNode rssSubNode = rssNode.SelectSingleNode("title");
string title = rssSubNode != null ? rssSubNode.InnerText : "";

rssSubNode = rssNode.SelectSingleNode("link");
string link = rssSubNode != null ? rssSubNode.InnerText : "";

rssSubNode = rssNode.SelectSingleNode("pubDate");
string dateP = rssSubNode != null ? rssSubNode.InnerText : "";

rssSubNode = rssNode.SelectSingleNode("description");
string description = rssSubNode != null ? rssSubNode.InnerText : "";

rssSubNode = rssNode.SelectSingleNode("img");
string Immage = rssSubNode != null ? rssSubNode.InnerText : "";

rssContent.Append("" + title + dateP + "
" + description);
}

Here you go...

C#

var itemMediaContents = rssNode
    .OwnerDocument!.GetElementsByTagName("media:content");

var itemMediaContent = itemMediaContents[0];

var itemMediaThumbnails = itemMediaContent!
    .OwnerDocument!.GetElementsByTagName("media:thumbnail");

var itemMediaThumbnail = itemMediaThumbnails[0];
