Such as?

In general, there are a handful of networks that actually cover, or send people, to places around the world (such as Africa, for instance,) to get footage and try to tell a news story. The best of these, in my opinion, are France24 (available in English!), maybe RAI, a handful of others, and Al Jazeera. FOX, frankly, is almost exclusively a "US politics and issues" network, as is MSNBC, and is more "opinion" than "news." CNN of course does its best but is so infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome as to make it nearly unwatchable.

Nobody who proclaims that their job is to “provide a global public service and a common editorial stance” (France 24) is going to be thinking about reporting the news.

Fox has leaned further left of late in its opinion programming, but merely because they aren’t “Fox World News” to a sufficient percent for (with all due respect) your taste does not automatically undercut them altogether. Many countries are not friendly to reporters from agencies that are not on board with the “global” left-wing view and are generally pro-American and pro-Israel.

And to say CNN is more reporting than opinion is, again with all due respect, just ignorance about what CNN is.
