He didn't say "John Lennon would cover Oasis". He was asked which song John Lennon would be most likely to cover and gave an answer. The title is very misleading. To apply their title methodology to a hypothetical situation: Let's say a police officer gives a speech telling people, "Don't buy guns illegally." Spinner would more than likely title it "Police Officer Says: 'Buy Guns Illegally'".
Did the person use the words? Yes. Were they taken out of context? Yes.
That being said, I'm not really an Oasis fan. That article just struck me as being ridiculous.
