L<\/span>yrah and Madelynn did a good job on this topic in the latest edition of the Spectator P.M.<\/em> podcast, but I did want to pass along a take on that very large, steaming turd of a \u201cstudy\u201d laid down by CNBC, which claimed that Tennessee and Texas are the two worst states in America to live.<\/p>\n

The study itself is a big, fat nothing. It claims that Tennessee is the worst state in America to live, followed by Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, and Georgia to round out the bottom five.\u00a0(RELATED: The Spectator P.M.<\/i>\u00a0Ep. 229: CNBC\u2019s \u2018Top States\u2019 Ranking Is the Top Flop of 2026)<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the top five states? Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Connecticut.<\/p>\n

Oh, OK.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what CNBC\u2019s article on the 10 worst states to live had to say about Tennessee\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

Tennessee Republicans, led by Gov. Bill Lee, make no apologies for a rash of state laws targeting the LGBTQ+ community, including a so-called \u201cbathroom law\u201d requiring transgender people to use the facilities designated for their sex at birth. The state also explicitly bars localities from adopting their own antidiscrimination ordinances. To underscore the point, Lee signed a resolution earlier this year designating June \u201cNuclear Family Month.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wife, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God\u2019s design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world,\u201d the resolution states.<\/p>\n

Its sponsors deliberately timed the observance to coincide with the month when Tennessee\u2019s more than 300,000 LGBTQ+ people celebrate Pride.<\/p>\n

Inclusiveness isn\u2019t the only area where the Volunteer State falls short. Tennessee also has one of the highest violent crime rates in the nation, according to FBI statistics. And it has the third-highest rate of drug deaths, according to the United Health Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Tennessee\u2019s violent crime rate is almost solely a product of the historically out-of-control lawlessness in Memphis, something which has been greatly curtailed thanks to President Trump\u2019s commitment of federal resources to pin down the criminal element in that city.<\/p>\n

But militant heterosexuals interfering with Pride Month being a key factor in down-ranking a state which has been growing by leaps and bounds over the space of the past decade and more on quality of life doesn\u2019t sound much like a scientific study.\u00a0(RELATED: <\/strong>\u2018Reverse Okies\u2019 and Blue State Refugees \u2014 Another Wave Appears To Be Building<\/strong>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

But Scott Cohn, the San Francisco-based CNBC reporter authoring the listicle on the cable channel\u2019s website, assures us that This Was Very Professionally Done, You Guys\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

As more companies insist their employees return to the office, they know they need to offer something in return to attract and retain good people. That\u2019s why finding a place where people will want to live is an increasingly important factor as companies decide where to set up shop.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuality of place, especially investing in quality of place, is the top thing you can do for talent attraction and retention,\u201d said site selection consultant Larry Gigerich, managing executive director of Ginovus in Indianapolis, and chairman of the Site Selectors Guild.<\/p>\n

CNBC is placing increasing emphasis on Quality of Life, one of the 10 categories of competitiveness in our annual America\u2019s Top States for Business study. It is our annual ranking of every state\u2019s business climate, now in its 20th year. Under this year\u2019s methodology, the category makes up 11.6 percent of a state\u2019s overall score, up from about ten percent last year.<\/p>\n

To score the states for quality of life, we use hard data on factors like crime rates, air quality and healthcare. We also consider the cost and availability of childcare, inclusiveness of state laws, and reproductive rights. Some states offer exemplary quality of life. But these ten states do not make the grade.<\/p>\n

Those are what Scott Cohn thinks are the important factors in quality of life? How easy it is for a woman to kill her unborn baby, and how friendly the local libraries are to Drag Queen Story Hour?<\/p>\n

All of the top 10 worst places for Scott Cohn, a veteran legacy corporate media reporter out of San Francisco, to live are red states. Rounding out his bottom 10 are Utah, Missouri, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Arkansas.\u00a0(RELATED: Y\u2019all Street Is Eating Wall Street\u2019s Lunch)<\/strong><\/p>\n

And they want you to believe this is credible.<\/p>\n

Hilariously, four of the worst states to live, according to Cohn\u2019s listicle, are in the top 10 of CNBC\u2019s best states for business \u2014 Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, and Indiana. So the two worst states to live in America are among the top 10 best states to do business. Cool story, bro! (RELATED: Go South, Young Man, Go South)<\/strong><\/p>\n

It would have been a bit more believable if Scott Cohn had told you that these were the top 10 worst places for the LGBTQIA++ Alphabet People to live, or that they were the top 10 worst places for women wanting to have abortions \u2014 or men wanting to have wanton sex without fatherhood \u2014 to live.<\/p>\n

But nope. Scott Cohn and his team of \u201cresearchers\u201d at CNBC decided to impose San Francisco values on red states and found Tennessee and Texas to fail the biggest of all.<\/p>\n

Imposing San Francisco values \u2014 which are the values real people are fleeing from all over the country \u2014 on places that don\u2019t want to be San Francisco is what legacy corporate media has been doing for 50 years, and people are absolutely sick of it.\u00a0(RELATED: What Migration Patterns Within the U.S. Tell Us About Policy)<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s interesting about this study, if anything, is how little Cohn and the suits at CNBC who pay him seem to care about hiding any of this. There was a time when network news would work hard to promote the fiction that the propaganda they were offering was balanced and straight and objective. But that time is gone, and while they\u2019ll blame it on Fox News and the internet segmenting the media market, that isn\u2019t close to the whole story.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s really happening is that the boomers on whom the American media model was based have aged out of the prime demo, and the generations who\u2019ve come after are far more cynical about mass media. Nobody under 60 really thinks the holy media miracle of Watergate was all that big a scandal, for example, at least compared to far worse behavior since then that outlets like CNBC treated with kid gloves. We all know that we\u2019re being treated like mushrooms \u2014 the sanitized version of that old military analogy is that we\u2019re kept in the dark and fed poop all day. (RELATED: A Defense of Generation X As Its Moment Approaches)<\/strong><\/p>\n

And eventually, people get tired of being treated like mushrooms.<\/p>\n

Go to Scott Cohn\u2019s website, and you\u2019ll see a perfect example of how this works. He\u2019s got two video reports he did for CNBC featured at the top of the page, displaying his work \u2014 one, from eight years ago, telling the viewer the shocking news that an Idaho prison is violent, and another, from 10 years ago, exposing Remington, the gun manufacturer, for product liability. And down the page, there\u2019s Cohn as a guest on the awful John Oliver show, which somehow survives on HBO (at least, until the Ellisons get hold of Time Warner).<\/p>\n

It\u2019s classic 1980s-1990s \u201cTV journalism,\u201d complete with the hackneyed premises \u2014 \u201cWater is wet! Film at 11!\u201d \u2014 and overwrought propaganda designed to make soft people outraged.<\/p>\n

Boring.<\/p>\n

Scott Cohn has nothing to offer to anybody younger than a boomer, and so he\u2019s reduced to writing stupid listicles to get clicks on CNBC\u2019s website. And the stupider the listicle, the more clicks.<\/p>\n

So pissed-off Tennesseans and Texans who shared that dumb survey with \u201cget a load of this crap\u201d messages attached probably did more for Scott Cohn\u2019s flagging media career than anything else that has happened to him of late.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pitiful. But it\u2019s an immaculate rendering of what legacy corporate media has become and refuses to move beyond, and why it won\u2019t last much longer in its current formation.<\/p>\n
