They are similar in accuracy to filming yourself with the current newspaper, which is what the person who asked the question accepted as a solution to "one side

  I'm probably nitpicking where it doesn't belong, but certainly not the Google search one, which is trivial to intercept and redirect to something that returns whatever time you want, and wouldn't be at all detectable. What I was being pedantic about on the other one I guess was that if we include some video editing in our definition of "easy", a newspaper which you can bend and wave and make slightly annoying to edit over seems slightly more believable than a fixed time and date which even if you walk around near should be a bit easier to edit over afterwards considering it's going to be some "regular" shapes.

    Google search: You can record yourself in front of time.gov page if you want to. The time constantly changes. You can move constantly while talking, so that your figure has an overlap with the time clocks. This can be "intercepted" - you can show headers and re-directions using an add-on, but the basic idea here is to use something almost anyone can do, so I am not proposing that. Video editing: So many ways of doing this. The basic idea is to show a display of "time and date" somewhere, which is difficult for you to arrange. You can record yourself standing in front of a couple of newspaper stands, showing today's newspapers. You can record yourself shouting at train passengers of multiple trains, "hey what's today's date and time?" and recording the response. There are many, many solutions accessible to the common man to prove this, with a generally acceptable level of authenticity.

      It seems like faking time.gov is fairly close to trivial.

  No, a newspaper is impossible to fake, because you can't predict the headlines that will come out that day.
