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?

    this article explains it: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/04/world/asia/north-korea-waitresses-defector.html?referringSource=articleShare tldr: they're paid and/or coerced to it by recruiters to make up shit.

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