  Well, sure, the nightly news filled with video clips of staged scenes–politicians in hard hats, being seen to do photogenic or patriotic things etc. 'Photo opportunities'. The politicians featured seem to spend half their time doing such fake stuff. The rivalry between the 2 main parties in many democracies has this nature–often politicians have old friends on the other side, yet their supporters are sworn enemies. The parties have a lot more in common than not, yet they're portrayed as and believed by the public to be absolute opposites.
