Hollywood is an extremely powerful marketing tool, exporting the American patriotism around the world. Movies that involve the military also tend to paint a very positive picture of the US military. And those movies and series is what kids and teenagers around the world grow up with.

Whereas to see poverty, homelessness or infrastructure problems you actually have to travel to the US.

Not sure about CIA but heard the military let's film studios use equipment (up to tanks and planes) for free as long as they have a say on how they are portrayed. That's a powerful incentive.
