6. Who did he ask?

This was a topic today. Some people used it to claim Trump was vindicated.

Did Anderson Cooper ask rhetorically three times, when introducing a story?

Did he ask one person three times? Did he ask three people, once each? Was there any discussion about this? And if so, what was said?

Did Anderson Cooper answer the question himself?

Was he giving people of differing views a platform for debate?

Asking for context here. It matters. Some people want to tune in and see a host/journalist open the floor for differing views so they can decide for themselves; other people want to tune in to see a host confirm their beliefs. There are different channels for each.
