- ProPublica also falsely reports that Justice Thomas received a standing invitation to an exclusive golf club, but he declined as he doesn't play golf.
- The article criticizes Justice Thomas for attending a football game in a suite, but the ticket price was well below the threshold for a reportable gift.
- ProPublica has a record of similar mistakes and omissions in their investigations.
