Preferences->Tweaks->Control how dates are displayed

News agencies etc often update their news reports to correct errors, this is usually indicated in the news reports dateline and a note at the bottom. So yes the same 'book' can be published multiple times on the same day.

I agree with you, the published date/time that I see in calibre should be the wall date & time at the place where the event happened (book published, news report filed etc), it should have nothing to do with the time setting on the computer I happen to be using.
I'm not so bothered by date/time the book was added to calibre (timestamp), and even less by calibre's modified date because it can change 'unexpectedly'
