The Controversial Actions of Justice Samuel Alito and Conservative Justices on the Supreme Court.

The Wall Street Journal published an opinion piece by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito defending himself against possible ethics violations before ProPublica's investigation into the matter was published. The Journal then criticized ProPublica's investigation in another opinion piece, claiming they didn't need to read it to know where it was going. ProPublica's editor-in-chief questioned whether the Journal fact-checked Alito's essay before publication and criticized the Journal for attacking his publication without seeking comment. Critics have called the Journal's actions uncommon and unethical.
