Dear XXXXXXXX:
I serve as Vice President and Legal Counsel to Monmouth University. Your website hosts Gold-Silver.us. I write to you about an article published by Gold-Silver.com which relates to Monmouth. Gold-Silver.com published the following misinformation in an article dated October 7, 2016 (http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthre...369&viewfull=1 (http://gold-silver.us/forum/showthread.php?92750-LEAKED-Monmounth-polling-internal-memo-shows-polls-totally-rigged-for-Hillary&p=859369&viewfull=1)):
Leaked: Monmouth polling internal memo shows polls totally rigged for Hillary
This article also contains a content purporting to be an internal memo sent by the Monmouth University Polling Institute, which is a total and complete fabrication. It purports to attribute the most egregious bias to Monmouth in the design of a poll of Florida voters conducted in September 2016. A fraudulent document such as the one you are hosting cuts to the very heart of the Polling Institute’s credibility and, thus, causes severe damage to its main asset—its lack of bias.
As you can imagine, the Monmouth University Polling Institute depends upon its reputation for conducting fair and balanced polls. The lack of bias is essential for a poll to be deemed credible. Indeed, the lack of bias is the lifeblood of any legitimate polling organization. Critically, personnel at the University have now received threatening and other inappropriate messages and other communications from persons responding to or citing to this fabrication, and local law enforcement have been brought in. This statement is false and defamatory of the Monmouth University Polling Institute. The University has published factual information directly addressing the work of the Polling Institute, which you can find at:https://twitter.com/MonmouthPoll/sta...80423752667138 (https://twitter.com/MonmouthPoll/status/778680423752667138).
The Washington Post has also run an article debunking the assertions made in this false document on your site.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...ng-to-believe/ (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/09/21/fake-polling-memo-prompts-the-question-how-much-are-partisans-willing-to-believe/).
I must therefore insist that you immediately CEASE and DESIST from any ongoing publication of this false and defamatory statements and take all steps necessary to take this information off of your website. The University takes its rights seriously and will vigorously enforce its right to prevent the dissemination of false defamatory information.
Sincerely,
John J. Christopher, Esq.
