So Malaysian Authorities now say the WSJ article, saying the plane continued on for multiple hours, is wrong?

From what I have read it was a reporter that asked the Malaysian authorities if it was possible the plane continued on for multiple hours. The Malaysian response was "Of course, we can't rule anything out".

For headline purposes this translates into "Malaysians say plane flew on for hours" vs "Malaysians cannot rule out that plane flew on for hours".

I'm sure there are people sitting around a table coming up with headlines and content that will get them the most hits and clicks, then okaying it with the lawyers; context and accuracy are only considerations from a legal perspective.
