You say: 
"Funny how ADN reporters fail to highlight things like the fact that after this ordeal, a Cordova Trooper paid for the victim’s 5 night hotel stay out of pocket (things like that are not unusual)..." 
but in the story it is stated that a trooper paid. 

See "According to Brandenburg, one of the troopers at the Cordova post covered a five-night hotel stay for him out of his own pocket."

What does what you write "...day before another ADN reporter’s headline about the shooting of a violent man with knives in his hands who rushed troopers after they try to talk him down, resulting in them shooting him to save themselves from being slashed is summarized by the headline “Troopers shoot and kill man on his birthday.” No bias there, right ADN?

got to do with the story about Christopher and why the heartache about the difference of the two above references?
