Really? Check Out Which States CNBC Lists As Having the Worst Quality of Life (and Why!)

CNBC just released its 'America's Top States For Business' and you'll be not shocked to learn it's infused with tons of political bias.

How do we know? It's named Tennessee as the worst quality of life in America:

Here's more (emphasis added):

Also, as several of the criteria in the quality-of-life ranking included state laws relating to civil rights protections, employee rights against discrimination and reproductive rights, "states with more restrictive laws, so-called red states, will not score as well on the quality-of-life metric," David Cella, medical social sciences professor and director of the Institute for Public Health and Medicine at Northwestern University, Illinois, told Newsweek.
In the study, the top 10 states for quality of life were: Vermont, Maine, New Jersey, Minnesota, Connecticut, Hawaii, North Dakota, Virginia, Nebraska and Massachusetts.
The 10 states at the bottom of the ranking were: Tennessee, Texas, Indiana, Louisiana, Utah, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Missouri.

Oh, there it is!

Omg so true. TN is the worst state in the US. You'll definitely die if you move to Tennessee. There aren't seven beaches! If you are coming from CA, you'll want one of the Carolinas, or Georgia for the movie industry.

Heh. We see what you did there.

Vermont has 600k people. That’s it. 92% of them are white. New headline: Vermont is the best state for quality of life for a few rich white people. Go Vermont!

Maine has 1.3 million people. That’s it. 92% of them are white. See Vermont. Go Maine!

Any other outlet pushed this list, CNBC would declare it racist.

Wow! Then, why are so many people from California to Tennessee??

Total mystery.

So what they are saying is that the Red States have a poor quality of life for progressives and leftists.
Good. The fewer of those policies, the better MY quality of life. pic.twitter.com/zSl8T5vdep

TRUTH.

The criteria in the quality-of-life ranking included state laws relating to civil rights protections, employee rights against discrimination and reproductive rights.

Or how can we skew this?

Nailed it.

You were right.

Sorry, Texas is far worse. You can't kill your baby here, like AT ALL. Also, no weed.

It's hot from June to October, then in winter it is alternately warm and f***ing freezing.

The landscape is ugly in most of the state

Whatever you do, don't come here. It's horrible. https://t.co/OqJZI7qePm

It's awful. Just leave us here in our collective misery. You want no part of this https://t.co/4gx4DHyoq4 pic.twitter.com/Yv3G4VPBp7

That's the perfect gif.

This will come as quite a surprise for U-Haul https://t.co/yoMMV3AlfH

Yes it will.

I bet the people in Tennessee are THRILLED to learn this and will tell everyone that's thinking about moving there how bad the quality of life is. https://t.co/BaWoBggY8v
