Said leader died several chapters earlier, and the news hasn't made it that far yet.

* In a variation, in ''MassEffect'' series completing a sidequest will seemingly immediatly create the intended effect even when this shouldn't be in any way possible. For example, in ''MassEffect3'' you can find a salarian scientist discussing the possibility of cloning extinct Kakliosaurus as mounts for toxic environment, and if you bring him a skull of the creature, he will comment on the success of the project the next time you speak with him, even if it's only seconds later.

* In ''Disney/{{Pocahontas}} II'' the news of John Smith's [[spoiler:apparent]] death in the prologue somehow beats John Rolfe's ship across the Atlantic to Virginia, [[FridgeLogic despite the fact that news could only cross the ocean by ship in those days]]. In fairness, this is hardly the only way ''Pocahontas'' gave historical accuracy the finger.

When the hero accomplishes a task or a goal (or in the other direction, does something embarrassing or messes up badly), everyone he encounters will have known about it already and will praise/chastise the hero for what he did. Originally a [[VideoGameTropes video game trope]], but seen in other media.

** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', when you speak to a guard after doing something that gives them a new line of dialogue, they'll say the new line before anything else. So, for example, you can be made Harbinger of the Companions in a little sea cave, and arrive at the nearest town before the Companions with you (the only ones who witnessed you being made Harbinger) get there, and the first guard will ''still'' greet you as Harbinger of the Companions.

** It probably doesn't get any straighter then this: you cannot sell stolen goods at all. Even if the store is on the ''other plane of existance'' from the crime scene you'll stll receive an "I don't receive stolen goods" reply. Such level of awareness makes you suspect a case of HiveMind. Or a remarkably efficient law enforcement system with instant and widespread notification aboyt crimes...Oh, who am I kidding, of course it's HiveMind!

* ''ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlrevis'' uses this as a gameplay element. There's an NPC that deals in rumors; you pay him to get a different rumor assigned to you. They have varying effects, ranging from cheaper item prices, to increasing all stats, to increasing item effectiveness. After doing specific things (fight 200 battles, get past part in storyline, get A's in class, and so forth), you unlock different rumors.
