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.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the plane flew for approximately 4 hours after the Malaysians lost contact with the plane. This info is apparently coming from Rolls Royce and/or Boeing, and the automatic relay of engine data.
The Malaysians denied that the plane continued flying for 4 extra hours. Or they were denying it last time I checked the news. The story is changing constantly. It's frustrating for me as a casual news reader, I can't imagine how awful it must be for the families to have all this confusion and contradictory news reports and quotes from government, military, etc.
