IAC has put Newsweek Daily Beast up for sale, shortly after the now all-digital publication relaunched to a new Web format.

If some intelligent, wealthy conservative was clever, they'd buy Newsweek and turn it into a real news investigative magazine, take one topic a week and dig deep, find all they can and report it all.
