It's the media that should be taught about Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency had been around for years and everything about it can be found online actually, they are free which bloggers like Andreas Antonopoulos had been teaching on youtube. The media can change things if they are just going to be willing to learn.
Reporting correctly about the real information is suppose to be a responsibility but then today they are paid by big businesses trying to subdue this industry including those senators proposing terrible crypto bills.
I've never seen the media teaching something useful about bitcoin, and maybe what you pointed out is actually the reason behind it: they were never taught. The only news I see are about fluctuations in price, people who got insanely rich by being an early holder, people who lost huge funds in btc because they have lost hardware wallets or news about companies, central banks thinking about creating their own crypto currencies.
Since the media doesn't teach anything useful, people will remain uneducated, as they fully rely on it to have access to information and knowledge. That is the main reason why most people aren't interested in bitcoin and probably won't until it's too late.
