Tamil readers are one of the most educated and knowledgeable people in India but unfortunately of late all the tamil papers have shed their neutrality and have aligned with one or the other political parties. While some of them are very well known to the public as biased some or not known - but they are.
Ever since the Sun TV group relaunched Dinakaran for Rs. 1 per copy and stormed the market, one of the widely read and circulated news daily in India, Dinathanthi has aligned itself with the ADMK fearing that if DMK comes to power, Dinakaran will rule the roost. While Dinakaran and Tamilmurasu (both published by the Sun TV group) are biased towards the DMK, Daily Thanthi, Maalai Murasu, Makkal Kural and other lesser known dailies are biased towards the ADMK. Dinamalar has a tilt towards the BJP. Dinamani is one newspaper I think is neutral but it's circulation is dwindling.
I hope the press ethics come back to the fore and all these biased newspapers give the true story to the public soon.
