Newsweek ceased to exist as a print publication in December of last year after being sold in 2010 for a dollar.
Now it’s for sale yet again. Well, the very little that’s left of it:
#Newsweek is for sale. Let me see, I think I have a couple bucks in my wallet.

Barry Diller he wants to sell @Newsweek, he was "seduced," now wants to focus on Daily Beast, which has greater potential $IAC #D11

Seduced!
So how does one get "seduced" into snagging Newsweek? Was that a brand thing or a print thing?

Saddest thing in Newsweek-for-sale memo (http://t.co/SKgzD22iT7): They're not peddling a magazine or journalists, but "the Newsweek brand."

Precious.
Sellers might find a buyer faster (perhaps a certain MSNBC host who shall remain nameless) if they would include all of the magazine’s old Obama halos in the sale.
