Love these types of games, where the game mechanics allow me to tell a story: I shouldn't of played all that jazz music.. Now I've lost church support and can't build political power off of articles on voting!
A couple notes:
Since it's very easy to get full immigration early on, Yellow Journalism becomes the favored way to get publicity. So, by the time you can use "A Man Was Lynched Today" it's not very worth it.
Unions suffer from the same issue, by the time you can use them, they're not all that useful.
I saw wobblies in the key, but they don't seem available.
Great work!
