Really? Gold has value because it's shiny and used in jewelry?
Please tell me how a piece of paper has value because... It's a tree?
Not really a satisfying answer either!

Apply random goals
Gloss over the details
Incentivize "just get it done, we can refactor later"
Lack of documentation
Entertainment over formal processes

The more you know about the news media and how it works, the less likely you are to believe conspiracy theories – even ones you might find politically tempting. That's what they want you to believe anyway

The "study" is correct; you get more influence over the opinion of the people if you can educate them priorly to what they should and should not accept as truth.
Conspiracy-thinking is fueled not by the MSM, but by the blatant lies we're fed by politicians. A Blair who can call for war without proof. Americans spying on their German "allies". Liberating Libya from a mad dictator, only to led it slide further into anarchy and slavery once the oil is secure. Ignoring another dictator so he can develop nukes.
By having a Hillary still running around, supported by someone with big money, and Hungary openly under attack from Soros. Where people hold a referendum and the votes are cast out into the trash. Conspiracy-thinking is rising, because more and more theories prove to be facts, and because the official story is usually full of holes.
It is thanks to the lack of education that they can keep controlling their demogagies, and why they don't like competition from "populists". Because democracy, it ain't.
