The fourth year of Hard News. Destin leaves ScrewAttack half way through the year, and Jared takes over. Currently, there are only episodes from August - December on the Rooster Teeth site.
From September 19th, the starting title was "Welcome to Hard News!", which was soon changed to "This is Hard News" from the 22nd of September. On September 19th, the end title said "Bye Bye!", which was changed to "You stay classy internet".
To do: find all the older episodes from 2011.

Ben's April Fools Hard News
Ben
This is an poorly scripted episode, where Ben had no idea what he was doing.
Bryan, Craig and everyone else are laughing while Ben tries to read the news.
Ben has to read that he is a bitch!
Ben thinks he did a great job and can't wait to host it again. Craig tells him that he will never host Hard News again, before punching Ben in the dick and running away.
