Why would anyone _need_ to launch a smear campaign against mi2g? They do such an excellent job proving how they are founded entirely upon hyperbole and fear-mongering. Were it not for reporters desperate for something, anything, to write a story about we would never hear about mi2g. To be fair, it is not all mi2g's fault, incompetent reporters who listen to Matai and vomit back up his nonsense are as much as fault.
