media were monopolized and controlled by the state (usually ministries of propaganda). Ministries of propaganda usually manipulated thinking of the population using slogans and images that promoted "nation", "national identity", "racial identity", "state ideology", one-party system (usually dictators were supported by one party, state-party).
