Read the scenario below. The scenario represents which influence on Rita's political ideology?
Scenario
Rita is working on a current events report for her social studies class. The project asks her to find one news story from any source, summarize the story, and then write her reaction to the story. Rita usually gets her news from NFB News and trusts its reporting. She chooses an article titled "Public pressures governor to step down after sexist remark." The article quotes multiple people speaking against the male governor after the governor made a joke about his wife to a family member and was overheard by a reporter. In Rita's project, she writes that she believes the joke shows the governor disrespects women and cannot be trusted to treat people fairly in his position.
