- · Tamil-language coverage: too few articles (0) to compare emphasis.
- · Official sources: no official or primary-document report in this cluster.
- · Local / Tamil Nadu outlets: too few articles (0) to compare emphasis.
- · Political alignment: INSUFFICIENT DATA — IFFA's observed-alignment calibration is below the sample threshold, so cohorts are not shown. Language and local/national differences are shown instead.
Counts, not a “% true”. A press release is evidence that an institution stated something — not automatic proof it is objectively true.
