I think the news media are a huge, huge part of that. And textbooks. And press conferences, which is like joint government-news media. Government people actually present themselves very little, and in my internship the overwhelming emphasis was on the difference between the Americans who were presenting themselves.
And not just the news media, but the Hollywood media. And of course some government is responsible for this too, but it's not fair to blame government personnel.
