CNN will push host Don Lemon out of his prime-time slot and cancel his show Don Lemon Tonight, the networks' new CEO Chris Licht announced Thursday. Instead of his solo performance every night, Lemon will be joining White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins and anchor Poppy Harlow in a new morning show as the network struggles to retain viewership. CNN's ratings continued to tank in August, with Anderson Cooper 360 being the only show to make the list of top 25 cable news shows, behind 24 shows on Fox News and MSNBC.
Inflation at the wholesale level climbed 8.3% last month from August 2020, the biggest annual gain since the Labor Department started calculating the 12-month number in 2010. The Labor Department reported Friday that its producer price index " which measures inflationary pressures before they reach consumers " rose 0.7% last month from July after increasing 1% in both June and July.

An off-campus co-op for students at the University of California, Berkeley named the 'Person of Color Theme House' has banned white guests from entering common areas of the house. A list of house rules revealed that occupants were told 'many POC moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests.' While the student house aims to have an 'inclusive' environment, the rules specifically state 'white guests are not allowed in common spaces,' according to the list, which was posted on Reddit. The accommodation, which is located close to Berkeley's campus, is a five-story, 30-room home that can house up to 56 students. The house is owned by a private landlord. But the 'rules' which were leaked on social media have caused outrage - with many people slamming the restrictions as 'racist' as others came forward and revealed their experience living in the co-op.
