It’s really vague, and does warrant some specific examples…
I’d say if anything, they pretend some things are more peaceful than they are. Like sending the military in to capture a foreign leader being portrayed as simply “a military operation” rather than “act of war”. Emphasizing celebrations by Venezulan ex-pats.
The nominally socialist nations that receive media attention are generally truly not particularly peaceful, and the socialist nations that are pretty good peace wise are well known, but just too ‘boring’ to be in a ‘news’ cycle.
I suppose the point is that people can’t just take someone’s declaration of ‘socialism’ at face value, as there’s too many examples of malicious authoritarianism that claimed affinity to socialism as part of their rise to power. Not to say that capitalist nations are faring any better, just that the word ‘socialism’ when wielded as a brand isn’t to be trusted.
That’s disappointing… I’ll give you one example then. I’ll try to keep it short. Democratically elected socialist, Salvador Allende, was overthrown with help from Nixon, Kissenger, and the CIA using the media to influence public opinion in the 70s. Allende wanted to nationalize Chile’s resources like its copper mines which at the time were owned by US companies.
Syria is absolutely part of the global south. you know the global south is primarily about economic exploitation and not geography, right? and good for you knowing these things. but most americans aren’t keyed into all this at all
What is it you propose the USA is hiding, exactly?
The cartoon isn’t ambiguous

Who are you to make me spend a bunch of time “enlightening” someone whose intentions are clearly in bad faith.
