Anderson Cooper has testified that he will accept pre-agreed answers during interviews about legally-thorny topics, in a deposition that lifts the lid on CNN's journalistic processes.
The 55-year-old journalist, one of CNN's biggest stars, bristled when the lawyer deposing him described him as a television 'host,' and insisted that he was fully involved in reporting and not just the face of the news.
He said he never attended morning editorial meetings, and, asked about who controlled his social media, replied: 'I don't look at social media that much.'
On the advice of his lawyer, Cooper refused to answer questions about his contract: a magistrate judge is now ordering Cooper to respond to whether there are financial incentives or bonuses for him tied to Anderson Cooper 360 ratings.
Cooper was asked to speak about the fact-checking inside CNN as part of a lawsuit filed by a Florida doctor, who sued over an article accusing him of malpractice
Cooper's testimony, given over several days in January this year, was obtained by online news site Puck, which got hold of the documents after a court clerk failed to seal them, by mistake.
In it, he details an internal fact-checking process known as 'The Triad' - which sees a complicated and sensitive story reviewed by three teams: senior editors, Standards & Practices employees, and company attorneys.
Puck described it as 'rigorous'.
Cooper said that he had not worked before at an organization with such an intense system, and it gave him confidence in the reporting
He said that, when he was given a script with the answers for the reporters provided, he would not query the discussion because it meant there had already been lengthy legal discussions

Hysterical laughter at you Anderson. What a joke.
Is this real?
Well, nobody ever accused Andy of being very bright. The fart checkers are all commie libs. No credibility.
Is that word play for his life style?
I know how Andy’s farts get checked...
So he’s Ron Burgundy.
And THAT’s why we accurately call him Andy Pooper.
And today on our celebrity edition of Is He Lying or Is He Stupid? please welcome Anderson Cooper!
Possibly he is just lazy

Why would anyone go out in public dressed like that? and with blue toenails too.
LOL! The triad is ONE layer of so-called journalists and TWO layers of lawyers. This is the team setup to vett the legitimacy of stories. TWO legs of the stool are concerned with liability while only 33% of the group is concerned about accuracy and truth. Haha at cnn
How about "prevented" reporting?
No one ever sees that, do they?
Kool Aid drinker confirmed.

How’s that PIZZA Anserson?
They are careful not to obviously lie, when they could be caught.
So they feed us half truths and spins.
But mostly, their bias is in the story selections.
They just ignore all the stories that could hurt their cause and trumpet out all the stories that help their cause.
So obvious!
No surprise to learn that he was just another teleprompter reader who did not question the script he was given.
