Your newsgroup message has the header fields
Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2017 09:12:27 -0800
and
NNTP-Posting-Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2017 11:12:25 -0600
These are the Internet standards for representing dates and times. They
mean you submitted your message at 9:12:27 am Pacific Standard Time and
it reached the NNTP server for news.mozilla.org at 11:12:25 am Central
Standard Time. The appearance that your message reached the NNTP server
two seconds before you sent it indicates your PC clock is slightly fast
and requires an adjustment.
In other words, the time in these header fields are indeed local times.
The added -0800 and -0600 indicate the time zones (Pacific and Central
respectively) in the form of offsets from UTC. A time in a header field
that is actually UTC would have +0000.
