It's not a new idea at all - certainly a lot older than 2013.
This adage, and variations of it, get attributed to Mark Twain and Winston Churchill, amongst others: "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants [or boots] on."
I'm pretty surprised the Wikipedia article makes no mention of this since there's clearly prior art for the concept.
