IAC/InterActiveCorp., which recently announced plans to split off several major businesses, today launched a comedy news site as part of its broader push into online media and entertainment. The site, 23/6, a partnership with the political site the Huffington Post, plans to satirize people in the news through funny articles, videos and photos. Pieces range from fake political campaign commercials such as "Swift Kids for Truth" to made-up headlines poking fun at the media's predictable coverage of oil prices. The site is put together by a wide array of contributors and comedians, including people who have written for "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" and "The Simpsons" and bloggers from the Huffington Post. The site, whose name plays on the phrase "24 hours a day, 7 days a week," is one of several Web sites trying to translate the buzz of late-night comedy news shows to the Web.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB119457984441687652.html?mod=hps_us_whats_news
