Click on the spy glass to look for a problem or the spanner to fix a problem. Click your chosen tool on any Media Storm card. If you see a red dot, you have either found a problem or the problem exists in the same row or column as the card you picked. Your vote count goes down every time you choose to search for a problem rather than applying a solution. If your vote count reaches zero, you lose. If you fix a problem your problem count goes down and your vote count goes up. If you attempt to fix something that isn't a problem, your vote count goes up but so does your problem count. (It may also make it harder to find the original problem.) If you fix a problem you created, you've performed a U-turn and your vote count goes down.
The inspiration for this puzzle was the introductory quote by Earnest Benn - "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy." In this puzzle game you may need to apply the wrong solution (or more than one) to survive the media storm long enough to find the problem.
