I suspect there is some truth to your claim about Western governments keeping their constituents in the dark, but the media is free to report on this, so I think the reality is that Western media is extremely liberal and these acts don't fit their preferred narrative that these are some form of freedom fighters battling the oppressive West.
The U.S. government has considerable means to tell the unpleasant truth, but for reasons that are not clear they choose not to.
