White Lies 
"Last year, however, Withrow changed his stripes one more time, again making a complete flip-flop. He now says his life as a reformed neo-Nazi was a scam, a dodge, a ruse conceived and played out as part of a devious effort to advance the white-supremacy cause. His goal, Withrow now says, was to become a mole and infiltrate the government and America's anti-hate organizations, gather information, give false testimony and then blow the whistle once his mission was completed."

Back in black? "In a disturbing brush of irony-free PR manipulation, a story in Vibe magazine's August issue positioned local heroes 'N Sync in their strangest context yet, placing them at the forefront of some grand R&B evolution and seemingly signaling to the magazine's predominately African-American readership that, yeah, it's OK to like 'N Sync. Because, y'know, they're dope. Maybe even doper than their darker skinned peers." heeeeee-larious! Orlando Weekly
