I don't think so. I think the article was published early.
What probably happens is Google stores it with their own time zone when they crawl/find it. Then they simply calculate how old it is based on their own (same) time zone, and present it to you as N number of hours old.

I see I see... I understand now. However, if they cache it, it may be cached with Greenwich time and that is why it is all weird. Just a thought.

Bing pops up 6 hours ago, so it would be around 4:30 edt.
Around 4:30 GMT was 11 hours ago, which is when Google says it was posted.
