I agree, Al Jazeera and Russia Today definitely show another perspective (also biased) than the usual opinions you'll find in any American news network. To add to this comment, if you want to see a European view then I can highly encourage you to look at the French-German documentaries produced and broadcasted by Arte. They have tons of documentaries (most also translated to English), it is totally free to stream them and they will portray the rest of the world through a mainstream social-democratic European lense (also very biased).
Yes, some of the docs by Arte are great! I actually watched one with my mother a few weeks back regarding proxy wars and oil and she was blown away by connecting the dots on so much news from when she was ~20-30. (She is 70+ today and has lived in northern Europe all her life.)
Other docs on Arte feel like emotional eco-drivel “back to nature” blah blah, very German IMHO, but it can be somewhat enlightening to hear that point of view too. I am very pro nature/environment, but do not want to dismantle capitalism and remove all forms of mass-production that some Arte stuff advocates.
