Not to defend the Russians or the Japanese but the talking head at the news conference podium rarely knows more than the reporters in the initial stages of an event like that.
The reporter asks something like "Is there any radiation leaking?"
The response is "So far we have not had any confirmed reports of radiation leakage"
That translates into "OMG they lied!" later on when the facts of the incident become clear.
