Is this the concept that's referred to in the quote "a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes"?
You could view it as a specific application of the quote.
In your quote, there is no time-dependency between the lie and the truth. Whereas here, it's an attractive lie (easily parsed, great narrative), followed up by truths (that need more than surface-level analysis).
