A lot of it does come from the government initially, but then people reproduce it unconsciously all on their own.
I meant more like movies, Tv and medias. In particular those that aren't paid by the state. They are paid by rich capitalists and therefore share their ideology.
In the case of U.S. media much of it (especially the more pro-imperial projects) works directly with the state to align narratives, although it's not necessarily paid by the state.
Do they?? Never heard of this...
Here's a link straight from the horses mouth talking about partnerships with Hollywood, but keep in mind this article is itself propaganda to make it seem that the state does not exert narrative control but only "accuracy" and "protecting sensitive information".

Sure, and the state itself ultimately represents the class that holds power, so both private and public sector media tends to paint a similar narrative.
