Here is cited two examples regarding how people can be lied to. There are many more but the two selected answer the question quite clearly.
In the 20th Century, both Nazi Germany and Stalin's Soviet Union had tight control of the news media. At the time the news media consisted of newspapers and radio broadcasts.
In the case of Nazi Germany, Hitler simply shut down newspapers that published anti Nazi news or threatened them to publish only what the Department of Propaganda told them to publish. In 1939, for example, the news media, controlled by Joseph Goebbels and Hitler, told Germans that Poland was violating the border areas and conducting raids against Germany. The people were lied to.
From the beginnings of the Bolshevik regime and on throughout Stalin's era and beyond, the news media was owned by the Soviet Government. All news favorable to the Soviet regime was published and broadcasted the way Stalin wished it to, and did not publish or broadcast any news unfavorable to Stalin's regime. People were lied to.
Both of these examples fit the terms of dictatorships and oligarchies.
