Why is my link not a primary source?

Are you fucking serious right now?

[–] captcha_incorrect@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Please educate me.

A primary source is a source with first hand information (e.g. a witness) or a source that does not cite other sources as their source. Disregarding the credability of NBC, how does the article I linked not fit that description?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

I really hope you're trolling. The NBC article literally cites other sources.
