People may not know about Anderson Cooper's background.
His mother is Gloria Vanderbilt. He was raised in extreme luxury on the Upper East Side, and went to the most elite, well-connected prep schools. He worked for the CIA for a brief time, though it's impossible to say what connections he still has there.
(When I worked for an art gallery in NYC, some of his classmates were interns at the gallery. I found out later, when one of them was profiled in The New Yorker, that they are good friends with Cooper. They got the intern gig not for any skill or talent they had, but because their parents spent a lot of money there. When there was any work to be done they would make themselves scarce, but they were popular with the staff because they were generous with their cocaine.)
In other words, this may not be the best analogy to prove your point. If a savior did appear who said that God loves the poor more than the rich, and only those who give their money away will enter heaven, you can be absolutely sure that Anderson Cooper wouldn't report it.
