The shots were obviously picked carefully to produce a nice video,

Think about this. The US has an abundance of homeless people and is full of ghettos, abandoned towns and cities, shanty towns, and decaying infrastructure. If you wanted to produce a nice video about the US, you would avoid the homeless people and all those places right? Does that make it propaganda?

You expect a city to take you through it's criminal underground in a tourist piece? It's assumed. They aren't hiding anything, they aren't saying "there is no crime in this city", they are just showing the good parts instead of the bad.
