That's because education makes simple, cheap-to-produce news much less lucrative, because less and less people will watch or agree or discuss it, which means they will need to invest in actual research, non-biased good journalists, and also vastly increase the "development time" of each news article - all of that decreases profits, without mentioning that it makes it much harder to obtain lobbyists/funding from parties because most parties are extremely biased, and as such as soon as they don't represent that sight they also lose that funding. It's economical to keep people ignorant, really - because informed, knowledgeable people usually make informed, knowledgeable decisions, assessments and consumption.
