Governments have been using television to push propaganda since they were developed.
One of the worst examples, here, in the US, was when Hollywood produced a small handful of shows, and they were The Beverly Hillbillies, Green Acres, and Petticoat Junction. They were designed to show the southern states and Appalachia as poor and backward when they weren't at all. Those came out during JFK and Johnson's "war on poverty."
The people of Appalachia were either employed in the iron and steel industry, or were coal miners, and all of it was unionized. They were paid well. When you drove through the flat country of the south, it was all farming, except for the major cities.
Another stunt they pulled was traveling around to find a few actual poor families living at the heads of hollows, and they photographed them to place them in newspapers. It was always the same few photos they printed over and over.
In the south's case, the north vilifies them, and that has not stopped since reconstruction. That is how the northern Federalists look at anyone that might have "Old Republican ideas."
