The comparison that leapt into my mind was Chomskians talking about how politicians and the media decide which topics are even discussed. Not sure if they have a term for that. I guess what you call “Privileging the Question” is part of framing in the social sciences sense. It’s handy to have a phrase for this particular thing, though.
I believe they would term it “manufactured consent.” Although, I think the two ideas are slightly different. The idea behind manufactured consent is that, in order to answer a question one way or another, you must implicitly accept its premises. It is a special, politicized case of privileging the question.

Perhaps agenda-setting?
Good find!
